Micro-swimmers with hydrodynamic interactions
The low-Reynolds number motions of Purcell’s three-link swimmer, and of a closely-related two-paddle swimmer, are investigated and compared using slender-body theory and resistive-force theory. The results are compared (in the case of the three-link swimmer) with the resistive-force calculations of Becker, Koehler and Stone (BKS). In particular, we examine the effect of hydrodynamic interaction...
متن کاملHydrodynamic schooling of flapping swimmers
Fish schools and bird flocks are fascinating examples of collective behaviours in which many individuals generate and interact with complex flows. Motivated by animal groups on the move, here we explore how the locomotion of many bodies emerges from their flow-mediated interactions. Through experiments and simulations of arrays of flapping wings that propel within a collective wake, we discover...
متن کاملA study of self-propelled elastic cylindrical micro-swimmers using modeling and computation
We study propulsion of micro-swimmers in 3D creeping flow. The swimmers are assumed to be made of elastic cylindrical hollow tubes. The swimming is generated by the contractions of the tube’s elastic membrane walls producing a traveling wave in the form of a “step-function” traversing the swimmer from right to left, propelling the swimmer from left to right. The problem is motivated by medical ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic fluctuations and instabilities in ordered suspensions of self-propelled particles.
We construct the hydrodynamic equations for suspensions of self-propelled particles (SPPs) with spontaneous orientational order, and make a number of striking, testable predictions: (i) Nematic SPP suspensions are always absolutely unstable at long wavelengths. (ii) SPP suspensions support novel propagating modes at long wavelengths, coupling orientation, flow, and concentration. (iii) In a wav...
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...
