Tank-treading as a means of propulsion in viscous shear flows
Piero Olla
The use of tank-treading as a means of propulsion for microswimmers in viscous shear flows is taken into exam. We discuss the possibility that a vesicle be able to control the drif…

Effective swimming strategies in low Reynolds number flows
Piero Olla
The optimal strategy for a microscopic swimmer to migrate across a linear shear flow is discussed. The two cases, in which the swimmer is located at large distance, and in the prox…

Passive swimming in low Reynolds number flows
Piero Olla
The possibility of microscopic swimming by extraction of energy from an external flow is discussed, focusing on the migration of a simple trimer across a linear shear flow. The geo…
