The effects of fluid viscosity on the kinematics and material properties of C. elegans swimming at low Reynolds number
Josue Sznitman, Xiaoning Shen, Prashant K Purohit +1
The effects of fluid viscosity on the kinematics of a small swimmer at low Reynolds number are investigated in both experiments and in a simple model. The swimmer is the nematode C…

Material properties of of Caenorhabditis elegans swimming at low Reynolds number
Josue Sznitman, Prashant K. Purohit, Predrag Krajacic +2
Undulatory locomotion, as seen in the nematode \emph{Caenorhabditis elegans}, is a common swimming gait of organisms in the low Reynolds number regime, where viscous forces are dom…
