Autophoretic locomotion in weakly viscoelastic fluids at finite Péclet number

Giovanniantonio Natale, Charu Datt, Savvas G. Hatzikiriakos +1

In this work, we numerically investigate the dynamics of a self-propelling autophoretic Janus particle in a weakly viscoelastic fluid. The self-propulsion is achieved by an asymmet…
