abstract = {Hydrodynamic interactions are fundamental for the dynamics
of swimming self-propelled particles. Specifically, bonds
between microswimmers enforce permanent spatial proximity
and, thus, enhance emergent correlations by
microswimmer-specific flow fields. We employ the squirmer
model to study the swimming behavior of microswimmer
dumbbells by mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations, where the
squirmers’ rotational motion is geometrically
unrestricted. An important aspect of the applied
particle-based simulation approach—the multiparticle
collision dynamics method—is the intrinsic account for
thermal fluctuations. We find a strong effect of active
stress on the motility of dumbbells. In particular, pairs of
strong pullers exhibit orders of magnitude smaller swimming
efficiency than pairs of pushers. This is a consequence of
the inherent thermal fluctuations in combination with the
strong coupling of the squirmers’ rotational motion, which
implies non-exponentially decaying auto- and
cross-correlation functions of the propulsion directions,
and active stress-dependent characteristic decay times. As a
consequence, specific stationary-state relative alignments
of the squirmer propulsion directions emerge, where pullers
are preferentially aligned in an antiparallel manner along
the bond vector, whereas pushers are preferentially aligned
normal to the bond vector with a relative angle of
approximately 60° at weak active stress, and one of the
propulsion directions is aligned with the bond at strong
active stress. The distinct differences between dumbbells
comprised of pusher or pullers suggest means to control
microswimmer assemblies for future microbot applications.},
