Squirming with a backward-propelling cage
View through CrossRef
A squirmer enclosed in a droplet represents a minimal model for some drug delivery systems. In the case of a spherical squirmer swimming with a spherical cage in a Newtonian fluid [Reigh et al., “Swimming with a cage: Low-Reynolds-number locomotion inside a droplet,” Soft Matter 13, 3161 (2017)], it was found that the squirmer and droplet always propelled in the same direction albeit at different speeds. We expand the model to include particles' shape and medium's heterogeneity, two biologically relevant features. Our results reveal a novel behavior: a configuration that consists of a spherical squirmer and a spheroidal droplet in highly heterogeneous media yields a backward motion of the droplet.
