Abstract
We discuss the modelling of a microswimmer that operates in a 'squirmer' mode, by means of stochastic rotation dynamics. The squirmer that we model can easily be tuned between a 'pusher' and a 'puller'. We examine the flows produced by the squirmer and find that there is good agreement between both the predicted and simulated velocities of locomotion and the resulting flow field.Year: 2009 PMID: 21825510 DOI: 10.1088/0953-8984/21/20/204101
