Simulation of Paramecium Swimming in an Environment with a Chemical Gradient, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ahmadian, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor) ; Shamloo, Amir (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the recent decade, researchers in the field of minimally invasive medicine have come up to the idea of utilizing micro organisms as smart micro robots. The advantage with this idea is the fact that problems such as energy supply and maneuvering are resolved for these sorts of micro swimmers. In this current work, a new numerical method for investigation of micro swimming is developed which is computationally efficient in characterizing locomotion of micro swimmers and using a finite element method software, locomotion of Paramecium has been investigated inside and outside a capillary tube. According to simulation results, it is possible to design a controlling system which is capable of...
