Effect of retarded friction and added mass on the swimming speed of a vibrating two-sphere
B. U. Felderhof
A theoretical expression is derived for the mechanical contribution to the mean swimming speed of a vibrating two-sphere immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid. The two spheres…
Transition in steady streaming and pumping caused by a sphere oscillating in a viscous incompressible fluid
B. U. Felderhof
The steady streaming flow pattern caused by a no-slip sphere oscillating in an unbounded viscous incompressible fluid is calculated exactly to second order in the amplitude. The pa…
Swimming at small Reynolds number of an elliptical disk propelled by an elliptically polarized surface wave
B. U. Felderhof
The swimming of an elliptical disk at small Reynolds number is studied on the basis of a perturbative solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow near a deformable infin…
Swimming at small Reynolds number of a collinear assembly of spheres in an incompressible viscous fluid
B. U. Felderhof
Swimming at small Reynolds number of a linear assembly of identical spheres immersed in a viscous fluid is studied on the basis of a set of equations of motion for the individual s…
Swimming of a linear chain with a cargo in an incompressible viscous fluid with inertia
B. U. Felderhof
An approximation to the added mass matrix of an assembly of spheres is constructed on the basis of potential flow theory for situations where one sphere is much larger than the oth…
Effect of fluid inertia on the motion of a collinear swimmer
B. U. Felderhof
The swimming of a two-sphere system and of a three-sphere chain in an incompressible viscous fluid is studied on the basis of simplified equations of motion which take account of b…
