Abstract

The article focuses on the theoretical model of the spherical active particles migration among natural microswimmers through catalytic Janus particles. Topics discussed include the alignment of the particles in the propulsion axes, the presentation of the directional response which emerge from the interplay of near surface swimming activity and shear flow, and the computation of the probability distributions for the orientation of the swimmer through the effect of thermal noise.
