Autonomous elastic microswimmer
Katsutomo Era, Yuki Koyano, Yuto Hosaka +3
A model of an autonomous three-sphere microswimmer is proposed by implementing a coupling effect between the two natural lengths of an elastic microswimmer. Such a coupling mechani…
Imperfect bifurcation in the rotation of a propeller-shaped camphor rotor
Yuki Koyano, Hiroyuki Kitahata
We investigated the bifurcation structure on the self-propelled motion of a camphor rotor at a water surface. The center of the camphor rotor was fixed by the axis, and it showed r…
Diffusion enhancement in a levitated droplet via oscillatory deformation
Yuki Koyano, Hiroyuki Kitahata, Koji Hasegawa +5
Recent experimental results indicate that mixing is enhanced by a reciprocal flow induced inside a levitated droplet with an oscillatory deformation [T. Watanabe et al. Sci. Rep. 8…
Spontaneous motion of a camphor particle with a triangular modification from a circle
Hiroyuki Kitahata, Yuki Koyano
The spontaneous motion of a camphor particle with a slight modification from a circle is investigated. The effect of the shape on the motion is examined by the perturbation method.…
