Self-Propelled Rods near Surfaces (2009)
Elgeti, Jens, Gompper, Gerhard
We study the behavior of self-propelled nano- and micro-rods in three dimensions, confined between two parallel walls, by simulations and scaling arguments. Our simulations include thermal...
Yang, Yingzi, Elgeti, Jens, Gompper, Gerhard
Sperm swimming at low Reynolds number have strong hydrodynamic interactions when their concentration is high in vivo or near substrates in vitro. The beating tails not only propel the sperm through a...
Sperm and Cilia Dynamics (2006)
Sperm cells are propelled in a fluid by an active, snake-like motion of their tail, the flagellum. It is known for some time that sperm cells accumulate at the walls of a container, swimming mostly...
Nematic liquid crystals at rough and fluctuating interfaces (2005)
Elgeti, Jens, Schmid, Friederike
Nematic liquid crystals at rough and fluctuating interfaces are analyzed within the Frank elastic theory and the Landau-de Gennes theory. We study specifically interfaces that locally favor planar...
