Dynamics of a two-dimensional microswimmer near a slippery boundary

Takahiro Kanazawa, Darren Crowdy

Microswimmers near walls and interfaces can switch between qualitatively different modes of motion depending on the slip properties of the neighbouring boundaries. To study this th…

Exact solutions for submerged von Kármán point vortex streets cotravelling with a wave on a linear shear current

Jack Keeler, Darren Crowdy

New exact solutions are presented to the problem of steadily-travelling water waves with vorticity wherein a submerged von Kármán point vortex street cotravels with a wave on a lin…

Generalization of waving-plate theory to multiple interacting swimmers

Peter J. Baddoo, Nicholas J. Moore, Anand U. Oza +1

Early research in aerodynamics and biological propulsion was dramatically advanced by the analytical solutions of Theodorsen, von Kármán, Wu and others. While these classical solut…

Liouville chains: new hybrid vortex equilibria of the 2D Euler equation

Vikas S. Krishnamurthy, Miles H. Wheeler, Darren G. Crowdy +1

A large class of new exact solutions to the steady, incompressible Euler equation on the plane is presented. These hybrid solutions consist of a set of stationary point vortices em…

A two-dimensional model of low-Reynolds number swimming beneath a free surface

Darren Crowdy, Sungyon Lee, Ophir Samson +2

Biological organisms swimming at low Reynolds number are often influenced by the presence of rigid boundaries and soft interfaces. In this paper we present an analysis of locomotio…
