The effects of rapid yawing on simple swimmer models and planar Jeffery's orbits
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +2
Over a sufficiently long period of time, or from an appropriate distance, the motion of many swimmers can appear smooth, with their trajectories appearing almost ballistic in natur…
Squirmer hydrodynamics near a periodic surface topography
Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney, David J. Smith
The behaviour of microscopic swimmers has previously been explored near large scale confining geometries and in the presence of very small-scale surface roughness. Here we consider…
Self-organized swimming with odd elasticity
Kenta Ishimoto, Clément Moreau, Kento Yasuda
We theoretically investigate self-oscillating waves of an active material, which have recently been introduced as a non-symmetric part of the elastic moduli, termed odd elasticity.…
Control and controllability of microswimmers by a shearing flow
Clément Moreau, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +1
With the continuing rapid development of artificial microrobots and active particles, questions of microswimmer guidance and control are becoming ever more relevant and prevalent.…
The control of particles in the Stokes limit
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +1
There are numerous ways to control objects in the Stokes regime, with microscale examples ranging from the use of optical tweezers to the application of external magnetic fields. I…
