Designing circle Swimmers: Principles and strategies
arXiv:2105.05472 · doi:10.1063/5.0065529
Abstract
Various microswimmers move along circles rather than straight lines due to their swimming mechanisms, body shapes or hydrodynamic effects. Here, we adopt the concepts of stochastic thermodynamics to analyze circle swimmers confined in a two-dimensional plane, and study the trade-off relations between various physical quantities such as precision, energy cost and rotational speed. Based on these findings, we predict principles and strategies for designing microswimmers of special optimized functions under limited energy resource conditions, which will bring new experimental inspiration for designing smart motors.
