Swimming under Confinement and Rectification (E)

Contents

In this topic an overview of the role of geometrical confinement on active motion is provided. A special focus is put on the use of confinement for trapping, guidance and rectification of active motion. The applications of the non-equilibrium response of swimmers to such dynamical constraints are discussed.
