Optimization of flagellar swimming by a model sperm
B. U. Felderhof
The swimming of a bead-spring chain in a viscous incompressible fluid as a model of a sperm is studied in the framework of low Reynolds number hydrodynamics. The optimal mode in th…
Hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small particles
Maria L. Ekiel-Jezewska, B. U. Felderhof
Exact expressions are derived for the pair and three-body hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small particles immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid. The…
Collinear swimmer propelling a cargo sphere at low Reynolds number
B. U. Felderhof
The swimming velocity and rate of dissipation of a linear chain consisting of two or three little spheres and a big sphere is studied on the basis of low Reynolds number hydrodynam…
Self-propulsion of a spherical electric or magnetic microbot in a polar viscous fluid
B. U. Felderhof
The self-propulsion of a sphere immersed in a polar liquid or ferrofluid is studied on the basis of ferrohydrodynamics. In the electrical case an oscillating charge density located…
Optimal translational swimming of a sphere at low Reynolds number
B. U. Felderhof, R. B. Jones
Swimming velocity and rate of dissipation of a sphere with surface distortions are discussed on the basis of the Stokes equations of low Reynolds number hydrodynamics. At first the…
Swimming of an assembly of rigid spheres at low Reynolds number
B. U. Felderhof
A matrix formulation is derived for the calculation of the swimming speed and the power required for swimming of an assembly of rigid spheres immersed in a viscous fluid of infinit…
