Self-propulsion in viscoelastic fluids: pushers vs. pullers
Lailai Zhu, Eric Lauga, Luca Brandt
We use numerical simulations to address locomotion at zero Reynolds number in viscoelastic (Giesekus) fluids. The swimmers are assumed to be spherical, to self-propel using tangent…

Locomotion by tangential deformation in a polymeric fluid
Lailai ZHu, Minh Do-Quang, Eric Lauga +1
In several biologically relevant situations, cell locomotion occurs in polymeric fluids with Weissenberg {number} larger than one. Here we present results of three-dimensional nume…
