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 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. ...
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 کاملThe hydrodynamics of ribbon-fin propulsion during impulsive motion.
Weakly electric fish are extraordinarily maneuverable swimmers, able to swim as easily forward as backward and rapidly switch swim direction, among other maneuvers. The primary propulsor of gymnotid electric fish is an elongated ribbon-like anal fin. To understand the mechanical basis of their maneuverability, we examine the hydrodynamics of a non-translating ribbon fin in stationary water usin...
متن کاملFish Locomotion for Innovative Marine Propulsion Systems
There is an essential need for obtaining the mathematical representation of fish body undulations, which can be used for designing and building new innovative types of marine propulsion systems with less environmental impact. This research work presents a case study to derive the mathematical model for fish body movement. Observation and capturing image methods were used in this study in order ...
