Low Reynolds Number Swimming Near Interfaces in Multi-Fluid Media [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Microorganisms often swim within heterogeneous fluid media composed of multiple materials with very different properties. The swimming speed is greatly affected by the composition and rheology of the fluidic environment.

Clustering of fast gyrotactic particles in low-Reynolds-number flow. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Systems of particles in turbulent flows exhibit clustering where particles form patches in certain regions of space. Previous studies have shown that motile particles accumulate inside the vortices and in downwelling regions, while light and heavy non ...

Aerodynamics of two parallel bristled wings in low Reynolds number flow [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Most of the smallest flying insects use bristled wings. It was observed that during the second half of their upstroke, the left and right wings become parallel and close to each other at the back, and move upward at zero angle of attack.

Turbulence Model Selection for Low Reynolds Number Flows. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 One of the major flow phenomena associated with low Reynolds number flow is the formation of separation bubbles on an airfoil's surface. NACA4415 airfoil is commonly used in wind turbines and UAV applications.

Propulsion Mechanism of Flexible Microbead Swimmers in the Low Reynolds Number Regime [PDF]
Micromachines, 2020 A propulsion mechanism for a flexible microswimmer constructed from superparamagnetic microbeads with different diameters and subjected to an oscillating field was studied experimentally and theoretically herein. Various types of artificial swimmers with

Characteristics of Low Reynolds Number Shear-Free Turbulence at an Impermeable Base [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Shear-free turbulence generated from an oscillating grid in a water tank impinging on an impermeable surface at varying Reynolds number 74≤Rel≤570 was studied experimentally, where the Reynolds number is defined based on the root-mean-square (r.m.s ...

Three-sphere swimmer in two dimensions at low Reynolds number condition [PDF]
مهندسی مکانیک شریف, 2022 Being widely ubiquitous in fluidic mediums from aquatic environments to bodies, for the sake of their mobility, microorganisms, such as bacteria and motile cells, make use of particular swimming strategies that are counter-intuitive to that of our daily ...

Swimming at low Reynolds number [PDF]
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2020 We address the swimming problem at low Reynolds number. This regime, which is typically used for micro-swimmers, is described by Stokes equations. We couple a PDE solver of Stokes equations, derived from the Feel++ finite elements library, to a quaternion-
