Swimming in curved space or The Baron and the cat
J. E. Avron, O. Kenneth
We study the swimming of non-relativistic deformable bodies in (empty) static curved spaces. We focus on the case where the ambient geometry allows for rigid body motions. In this…

Pushmepullyou: An efficient micro-swimmer
J. E. Avron, O. Kenneth, D. H. Oaknin
The swimming of a pair of spherical bladders that change their volumes and mutual distance is efficient at low Reynolds numbers and is superior to other models of artificial swimme…

Optimal Swimming at low Reynolds numbers
J. E. Avron, O. Gat, O. Kenneth
Efficient swimming at low Reynolds numbers is a major concern of microbots. To compare the efficiencies of different swimmers we introduce the notion of ``swimming drag coefficient…
