Abstract

A more concise and accurate generalized Taylor dispersion theory is applied to dispersion of active gyrotactic microorganisms in a plane Poiseuille flow. The joint effect of boundary conditions, cell shape anisotropy, swimming speed, and flow speed leads to the nonmonotonic variations of the phenomenological dispersion coefficients.
