Swimming upstream: self-propelled nanodimer motors in a flow†
The dynamics of chemically-powered self-propelled nanodimer motors in a fluid flow are investigated. The dimer motors are confined to move in a square channel within which a Poiseuille-like fluid flow exists. The flow direction is opposite to that of the nanomotor’s directed motion. Simulations of the dynamics are carried out using mesoscopic hybrid molecular dynamics/multiparticle collision dy...
متن کاملSwimming Performance Assessment in Fishes
Swimming performance tests of fish have been integral to studies of muscle energetics, swimming mechanics, gas exchange, cardiac physiology, disease, pollution, hypoxia and temperature. This paper describes a flexible protocol to assess fish swimming performance using equipment in which water velocity can be controlled. The protocol involves one to several stepped increases in flow speed that a...
متن کاملEfficient kinematics for jet-propelled swimming
We use computer simulations and an analytical model to study the relationship between kinematics and performance in jet-propelled jellyfish swimming. We prescribe different power-law kinematics for the bell contraction and expansion, and identify kinematics that yield high swimming speeds and/or high efficiency. In the simulations, high efficiency is found when the bell radius is a nearly linea...
متن کاملDirect Numerical Simulation of Self - Propelled Swimming of 3 D Bionic Fish School † Chui
Direct numerical simulation of self-propelled swimming of three dimensional bionic fish and fish school in a viscous flow in a tank are investigated. The swimming rule and the profile of 3D fish from previous experimental measurements of living fish are used in the study. A parallel software package for the 3D moving boundary problem is obtained, which combines the adaptive multi-grid finite vo...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Experimental Investigation on Efficient Swimming of Robotic Fish Using Self-propelled Method
Efficient swimming of biologically carangiform robotic fish has been investigated by using a novel experimental method. The laboratory robotic fish model, which follows an exact replica of Saithe, is self-propelled on a servo towing system. The forward towing speed is determined by the fluid force acting on the robotic fish, as the fish undulates its body in the water. The importance of the sel...
