A Comment on "Optimal Stroke Patterns for Purcell's Three-Link Swimmer"
arXiv:0706.3906 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.029801
Abstract
For large enough aspect ratio, we find better stroke patterns then the patterns proposed by D. Tam and A.P.Hosoi in their letter to PRL "Optimal Stroke Patterns for Purcell's Three-Link Swimmer".
