Dynamics Of Orientable Particulate Suspensions: Continuum Simulations Of ‘Living’ Fluids And Meso-Scale Simulations Of Anisotropic Particle Suspensions
… suspension problems - continuum scale 'active fluids' contain living cells that can respond to external stimuli such as light; and passive fluids contain anisotropic particles whose size is small enough that non-continuum effect caused by solvent needs to be accounted for. In the first part, …

Three-dimensional kinetic simulations of active suspensions: effect of chemotaxis and steric interaction
In this work, the effects of chemotaxis and steric interactions in active suspensions are analyzed by extending the kinetic model proposed by Saintillan and Shelley [1, 2]. In this model, a conservation equation for the active particle configuration is coupled to the Stokes equation for the flow …
