- Abstract
Abstract.: Multiparticle collision dynamics is a modern coarse-grained simulation technique to treat the hydrodynamics of Newtonian fluids by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. Naturally, it also includes thermal noise. Initially it has been applied extensively to spherical colloids or bead-spring polymers immersed in a fluid. Here, we review and discuss the use of multiparticle collision dynamics for studying the motion of spherical model microswimmers called squirmers moving in viscous fluids.Graphical abstract: <graphic></graphic>
