Front-back asymmetry controls the impact of viscoelasticity on helical swimming
V. Angeles, F. A. Godinez, J. A. Puente-Velazquez +3
We conduct experiments with force-free magnetically-driven rigid helical swimmers in Newtonian and viscoelastic (Boger) fluids. By varying the sizes of the swimmer body and its hel…

Viscoelastic propulsion of a rotating dumbbell
Jhonny A. Puente-Velazquez, Francisco A. Godinez, Eric Lauga +1
Viscoelastic fluids impact the locomotion of swimming microorganisms and can be harnessed to devise new types of self-propelling devices. Here we report on experiments demonstratin…
