Shapes optimising grand resistance tensor entries for a rigid body in a Stokes flow
Clment Moreau, Kenta Ishimoto, Yannick Privat
We investigate the optimal shapes of the hydrodynamic resistance of a rigid body set in motion in a Stokes flow. In this low Reynolds number regime, the hydrodynamic drag propertie…
A hydrodynamic slender-body theory for local rotation at zero Reynolds number
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney
Slender objects are commonplace in microscale flow problems, from soft deformable sensors to biological filaments such as flagella and cilia. Whilst much research has focussed on t…
Emergent rheotaxis of shape-changing swimmers in Poiseuille flow
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Clément Moreau +2
A simple model for the motion of shape-changing swimmers in Poiseuille flow was recently proposed and numerically explored by Omori et al. (2022). These explorations hinted that a…
