Swimming of a uniform deformable sphere in a viscous incompressible fluid with inertia
B. U. Felderhof, R. B. Jones
The swimming of a deformable uniform sphere is studied in second order perturbation theory in the amplitude of the stroke. The effect of the first order reaction force on the first…
Dynamics of cruising swimming by a deformable sphere for two simple models
B. U. Felderhof, R. B. Jones
The dynamics of periodic swimming is studied for two models of a deformable sphere, the dipole-quadrupole model and the quadrupole-octupole model. For the two models the solution o…
Effect of fluid inertia on swimming of a sphere in a viscous incompressible fluid
B. U. Felderhof, R. B. Jones
Swimming of a sphere in a viscous incompressible fluid is studied on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations for wave-type distortions of the spherical shape. At sizable values of…
Second harmonic generation and vortex shedding by a dipole-quadrupole and a quadrupole-octupole swimmer in a viscous incompressible fluid
B. U. Felderhof, R. B. Jones
Vortex shedding by a swimming sphere in a viscous incompressible fluid is studied for surface modulation characterized by a superposition of dipolar and quadrupolar, as well as for…
