Populations of swimming microorganisms produce fluid motions that lead to dramatically enhanced diffusion of tracer particles. Using simulations of suspensions of swimming particles in a periodic domain, we capture this effect and show that…

In a recent work [Reible et al., Phys. Rev. Res. 5, 023156, 2023], it has been shown that the mean particle-particle interaction across an ideal surface that divides a system into two parts, can be employed to estimate the size dependence…
