A 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 کاملSelf-propelled motion in a viscous compressible fluid
In this paper we focus on an existence of a weak solution to a system describing a self-propelled motion of a single deformable body in a viscous compressible fluid which occupies a bounded domain in the 3 dimensional Euclidean space. The considered governing system for the fluid is the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equation. We prove an existence of a weak solution up to a collision.
متن کاملSelf-propelled motion in a viscous compressible fluid – unbounded domains
In this paper we study the self-propelled motion of a single deformable body in a viscous compressible fluid which occupies whole 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The considered governing system for the fluid is the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The main result of this paper is the existence of a weak solution on a time interval (0,+∞).
متن کاملAnomalous thermomechanical properties of a self-propelled colloidal fluid.
We use numerical simulations to compute the equation of state of a suspension of spherical self-propelled nanoparticles in two and three dimensions. We study in detail the effect of excluded volume interactions and confinement as a function of the system's temperature, concentration, and strength of the propulsion. We find a striking nonmonotonic dependence of the pressure on the temperature an...
متن کاملTransport and aggregation of self-propelled particles in fluid flows.
An analysis of the dynamics of prolate swimming particles in laminar flow is presented. It is shown that the particles concentrate around flow regions with chaotic trajectories. When the swimming velocity is larger than a threshold, dependent on the aspect ratio of the particles, all particles escape from regular elliptic regions. For thin rodlike particles the threshold velocity vanishes; thus...
