abstract = {The swimming behavior of self-propelled microorganisms is
studied by particle-based mesoscale simulations. The
simulation technique includes both hydrodynamics and thermal
fluctuations that are both essential for the dynamics of
microswimmers. The swimmers are modeled as squirmers, i.e.,
spherical objects with a prescribed tangential surface
velocity, where the focus of thrust generation can be tuned
from pushers to pullers. For passive squirmers (colloids),
we show that the velocity autocorrelation function agrees
quantitatively with the Boussinesq approximation. Single
active squirmers show a persistent random-walk behavior,
determined by forward motion, lateral diffusion, and
orientational fluctuations, in agreement with theoretical
predictions. For pairs of squirmers, which are initially
swimming in parallel, we find an attraction for pushers and
a repulsion for pullers, as expected. The hydrodynamic force
between squirmer pairs is calculated as a function of the
center-to-center distances d(cm) and is found to be
consistent with a logarithmic distance dependence for d(cm)
less than about two sphere diameters; here, the force is
considerably stronger than expected from the far-field
expansion. The dependence of the force strength on the
asymmetry of the polar surface velocity is obtained. During
the collision process, thermal fluctuations turn out to be
very important and to strongly affect the postcollision
velocity directions of both squirmers.},
