Bending-compression coupling in extensible slender microswimmers
Kenta Ishimoto, Johann Herault, Clément Moreau
Undulatory slender objects have been a central theme in the hydrodynamics of swimming at low Reynolds number, where the slender body is usually assumed to be inextensible, although…

Motility and rotation of multi-timescale microswimmers in linear background flows
Eamonn A. Gaffney, Kenta Ishimoto, Benjamin J. Walker
Microswimming cells and robots exhibit diverse behaviours due to both their swimming and their environment. One of the core environmental features impacting inertialess swimming is…
