Hydrodynamic behaviors of self-propelled sperms in confined spaces
The hydrodynamic behaviors of sperms in confined spaces (e.g.Poiseuille flow and quiescent flow between two parallel walls) are studied with a two-dimensional self-propelled sperm model based on the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM).For single-sperm swimming in Poiseuille flow, four typical swimming patterns, including wall-adhesi
