Hydrodynamic Mechanism of Colloidal Propulsion through Momentum Exchange
Javier Diaz, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Carles Calero
Propulsion of colloidal particles due to momentum transfer from localized surface reactions is investigated by solving the exact unsteady Stokes equation. We model the effect of su…
