Three-Dimensional Low Reynolds Number Flows near Biological Filtering and Protective Layers
Fluids, 2017 Mesoscale filtering and protective layers are replete throughout the natural world. Within the body, arrays of extracellular proteins, microvilli, and cilia can act as both protective layers and mechanosensors.

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 ...

The European Physical Journal E, 2023 Lift forces are widespread in hydrodynamics. These are typically observed for big and fast objects, and are often associated with a combination of fluid inertia (i.e. large Reynolds numbers) and specific symmetry-breaking mechanisms. In contrast, the properties of viscosity-dominated (i.e.

Stochastic low Reynolds number swimmers [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009 As technological advances allow us to fabricate smaller autonomous self-propelled devices, it is clear that at some point directed propulsion could not come from pre-specified deterministic periodic deformation of the swimmer's body and we need to develop strategies to extract a net directed motion from a series of random transitions in the ...

Optimal Swimming at Low Reynolds Numbers [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2004 Efficient swimming at low Reynolds numbers is a major concern of microbots. To compare the efficiencies of different swimmers we introduce the notion of ``swimming drag coefficient'' which allows for the ranking of swimmers. We find the optimal swimmer within a certain class of two dimensional swimmers using conformal mappings techniques.

Scattering of low-Reynolds-number swimmers [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 We describe the consequences of time reversal invariance of the Stokes' equations for the hydrodynamic scattering of two low Reynolds number swimmers. For swimmers that are related to each other by a time reversal transformation this leads to the striking result that the angle between the two swimmers is preserved by the scattering.

Low-Reynolds-number swimming at pycnoclines. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012 Microorganisms play pivotal functions in the trophic dynamics and biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems. Their concentrations and activities often peak at localized hotspots, an important example of which are pycnoclines, where water density increases sharply with depth due to gradients in temperature or salinity.

Research on wellhead flow detection method at low Reynolds number
International Journal of Thermofluids, 2023 The detection of wellhead fluid flow is critical in the development of low-production wells. The production status can be evaluated according to the flow of production wells. The thermal flowmeter designed in this paper mainly measures the flow of single-
