abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The performance of a single or the collection of microswimmers strongly
depends on the hydrodynamic coupling among their constituents and themselves. We
present a numerical study for a single and a pair of microswimmers based on lattice
Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations. Our numerical algorithm consists of two separable parts. Lagrange polynomials provide a discretization of the microswimmers and
the lattice Boltzmann method captures the dynamics of the surrounding fluid. The
two components couple via an immersed boundary method. We present data for a
single swimmer system and our data also show the onset of collective effects and, in
particular, an overall velocity increment of clusters of swimmers.</p>},
