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 a circular disk at low Reynolds number
B. U. Felderhof
The swimming of a circular disk at low Reynolds number is studied for distortion waves along its two planar surfaces with wavelength much smaller than the size of the disk. The cal…
