Viscous propulsion in active transversely-isotropic media

Gemma Cupples, Rosemary J. Dyson, David J. Smith

Taylor's swimming sheet is a classical model of microscale propulsion and pumping. Many biological fluids and substances are fibrous, having a preferred direction in their microstr…

Physics of Rheologically-Enhanced Propulsion: Different Strokes in Generalized Stokes

Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Daniel Loghin, David J. Smith

Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus, whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear. Certain microscopic…
