Lattice Boltzmann Simulations of Two Linear Microswimmers Using the Immersed Boundary Method

The performance of a single or the collection microswimmers strongly depends on hydrodynamic coupling among their constituents and themselves. We present numerical study for pair based lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations. Our algorithm consists two separable parts. Lagrange polynomials provide discretization captures dynamics surrounding fluid. components couple via an immersed boundary method. data swimmer system our also show onset collective effects and, in particular, overall velocity increment clusters swimmers.
