The hydrodynamics of flagellar propulsion: helical waves
The swimming of a micro-organism by the propagation of helical waves on a long slender flagellum is analysed. The model developed by Higdon (1979) is used to study the motion of an organism with a spherical cell body (radius A ) propelled by a cylindrical flagellum (radius a, length L). The average swimming speed and power consumption are calculated for helical waves (amplitude a, wavenumber k)...
متن کاملBiomimetic Survival Hydrodynamics and Flow Sensing
The fluid mechanics employed by aquatic animals in their escape or attack maneuvers, what we call survival hydrodynamics, are fascinating because the recorded performance in animals is truly impressive. Such performance forces us to pose some basic questions on the underlying flow mechanisms that are not yet in use in engineered vehicles. A closely related issue is the ability of animals to sen...
متن کاملFish biorobotics: kinematics and hydrodynamics of self-propulsion.
As a result of years of research on the comparative biomechanics and physiology of moving through water, biologists and engineers have made considerable progress in understanding how animals moving underwater use their muscles to power movement, in describing body and appendage motion during propulsion, and in conducting experimental and computational analyses of fluid movement and attendant fo...
متن کاملIncompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations on free surface flows
The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free ve...
متن کاملepl draft Propulsion hydrodynamics of a butterfly micro -
Propulsion motion of a simple mechanical model at low Reynolds numbers is considered. The model consists of two spheroids (wings) connected by a hinge. Its non-reciprocal operation cycles represent combinations of flapping motions of the wings and of their rotations, resembling conformational motions characteristic for real protein machines and similar to the propulsion pattern of a butterfly. ...
