A limiting model for a low Reynolds number swimmer with N passive elastic arms
François Alouges, Aline Lefebvre-Lepot, Jessie Levillain
We consider a low Reynolds number artificial swimmer that consists of an active arm followed by passive springs separated by spheres. This setup generalizes an approach propose…
