  • Download Movie_S02 (AVI) - Movie S2. Simulation results with and without hydrodynamic interactions are compared with experimental observations in a 2D unconfined domain.
  • Download Movie_S03 (AVI) - Movie S3. Elongated swimmers self-organize under confinement with direct cell–cell interactions only.
  • Download Movie_S04 (AVI) - Movie S4. Elongated pusher swimmers self-organize under confinement with direct cell–cell and cell–fluid interactions. Blue arrows, fluid flow.
  • Download Movie_S05 (AVI) - Movie S5. Circular pusher swimmers self-organize under confinement with direct cell–cell and cell–fluid interactions. Blue arrows, fluid flow.
  • Download Movie_S06 (AVI) - Movie S6. Semicircular pusher swimmers self-organize under confinement with direct cell–cell and cell–fluid interactions. Cells are reoriented by hydrodynamics but not by steric interactions. Blue arrows, fluid flow.
  • Download Movie_S07 (AVI) - Movie S7. A dilute suspension of pusher swimmers self-organizes under confinement with direct cell–cell and cell–fluid interactions. Blue arrows, fluid flow.
