Physics of Rheologically-Enhanced Propulsion: Different Strokes in Generalized Stokes
Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Daniel Loghin, David J. Smith
Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus, whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear. Certain microscopic…
