Abstract

The slime mold Physarum polycephalum forms an extended network used for transportation of protoplasm through the cell. Although the flow is always laminar, protoplasmic particles are efficiently distributed within the cell. To elucidate how mixing is achieved in such a microfluidic system, we performed PIV experiments and follow tracers in the flow fields. This work was presented at PhysNet 2015

Keywords: physarum polycephalum transportation network laminar mixing synoptic lagrangian maps
