Reciprocal swimming in viscoelastic granular hydrogels
Hongyi Xiao, Jing Wang, Achim Sack +2
We experimentally study a scallop-like swimmer with reciprocally flapping wings in a nearly frictionless, cohesive granular medium consisting of hydrogel spheres. Significant locom…

Reciprocal swimming in granular media: the role of jamming and swimmer inertia
Amir Nazemi, Hongyi Xiao
We use particle simulations to reveal two distinct propulsion mechanisms for a scallop-like swimmer to propel itself in granular media by reciprocally flapping its wings. Based on…
