Multiflagellate Swimming Controlled by Interflagella Hydrodynamic Interactions
Shiyuan Hu, Fanlong Meng
Many eukaryotic microorganisms propelled by multiple flagella can swim very rapidly with distinct gaits. Here, we model a three-dimensional mutiflagellate swimming strategy, resemb…
Effect of viscoelastic fluid on the lift force in lubricated contacts
Shiyuan Hu, Fanlong Meng, Masao Doi
We consider a cylinder immersed in viscous fluid moving near a flat substrate covered by an incompressible viscoelastic fluid layer, and study the effect of the fluid viscoelastici…
Hierarchical Dynamic Routing in Complex Networks via Topologically-decoupled and Cooperative Reinforcement Learning Agents
Shiyuan Hu, Shihan Xiao
The transport capacity of a communication network can be characterized by the transition from a free-flow state to a congested state. Here, we propose a dynamic routing strategy in…
Enhanced clamshell swimming with asymmetric beating at low Reynolds number
Shiyuan Hu, Jun Zhang, Michael J. Shelley
A single flexible filament can be actuated to escape from the scallop theorem and generate net propulsion at low Reynolds number. In this work, we study the dynamics of a simple bo…
