Unidirectional propulsion of planar magnetic nanomachines
Kevin-Joshua Cohen, Boris Y. Rubinstein, Oded Kenneth +1
Steering of magnetic nano-/microhelices by a rotating magnetic field is considered as a promising technique for controlled navigation of tiny objects through viscous fluidic enviro…
The role of symmetry in driven propulsion at low Reynolds number
Johannes Sachs, Konstantin I. Morozov, Oded Kenneth +4
We theoretically and experimentally investigate low-Reynolds-number propulsion of geometrically achiral planar objects that possess a dipole moment and that are driven by a rotatin…
Undulatory locomotion of finite filaments: lessons from C. elegans
R. Berman, O. Kenneth, J. Sznitman +1
Undulatory swimming is a widespread propulsion strategy adopted by many small-scale organisms including various single-cell eukaryotes and nematodes. In this work, we report a comp…
Surface tank-treading: propulsion of Purcell's toroidal swimmer
Alexander Leshansky, Oded Kenneth
In this work we address the "smoking ring" propulsion technique, originally proposed by E. M. Purcell. We first consider self-locomotion of a doughnut-shaped swimmer powered by sur…
A frictionless microswimmer
Alexander M. Leshansky, Oded Kenneth, Omri Gat +1
We investigate the self-locomotion of an elongated microswimmer by virtue of the unidirectional tangential surface treadmilling. We show that the propulsion could be almost frictio…
