Material properties of Caenorhabditis elegans swimming at low Reynolds number.
Undulatory locomotion, as seen in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, is a common swimming gait of organisms in the low Reynolds number regime, where viscous forces are dominant. Although the nematode's motility is expected to be a strong function of its material properties, measurements remain scarce. Here, the swimming behavior of C. elegans is investigated in experiments and in a simple mod...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow.
Using large-scale numerical calculations, we explore the proper orthogonal decomposition of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow, using both the translational invariant (Fourier) method and the method of snapshots. Each method has benefits and drawbacks, making the 'best' choice dependent on the purpose of the analysis. Owing to its construction, the Fourier method includes all the flow fiel...
متن کاملHydromechanics of low - Reynolds - number flow . Part 4
The problem of a uniform transverse flow past a prolate spheroid of arbitrary aspect ratio a t low Reynolds numbers has been analysed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The solution is found to depend on two Reynolds numbers, one based on the semi-minor axis b, Rb = Ublv, and the other on the semi-major axis a, Ra = Ualv (U being the free-stream velocity at infinity, which is perpe...
متن کاملUnsteady low-Reynolds number flow control in different regimes
Low-Reynolds number wings are susceptible to flow separation due to high viscous effects. Combined with wind gusts, the aerodynamic performance can highly fluctuate. In this study, we continue to investigate the open-loop and closed-loop control strategies aimed at mitigating lift fluctuations due to free-stream unsteadiness for a SD7003 airfoil at the chord Reynolds number of 1000. The flow co...
متن کاملAsymptotics beyond All Orders for a Low Reynolds Number Flow
The solution for slow incompressible ow past a circular cylinder involves terms in powers of 1= log , times powers of 1= log , etc., where is the Reynolds number. Previously we showed how to determine the sum of all terms in powers of 1= log. Now we show how to go beyond all those terms to nd the sum of all terms containing times a power of 1= log. The rst sum gives the drag coeecient and repre...
