Low-Reynolds-number predator

Physical Review E, 2015
To generalize simple bead-linker model of swimmers to higher dimensions and to demonstrate the chemotaxis ability of such swimmers, here we introduce a low-Reynolds predator, using a two-dimensional triangular bead-spring model. Two-state linkers as mechanochemical enzymes expand as a result of interaction with particular activator substances in the ...

Self-Propulsion at Low Reynolds Number

Physical Review Letters, 1987
We formulate the problem of self-propulsion at low Reynolds number in terms of a gauge field over the space of shapes. The computation of this field is discussed, and carried out in some examples. We apply our results to determine maximally efficient infinitesimal swimming motions of spheres and circular cylinders.

Quiet swimming at low Reynolds number

Physical Review E, 2015
The stresslet provides a simple model of the flow created by a small, freely swimming and neutrally buoyant aquatic organism and shows that the far field fluid disturbance created by such an organism in general decays as one over distance squared. Here we discuss a quieter swimming mode that eliminates the stresslet component of the flow and leads to a

Life at low Reynolds number

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1976
E d i t o r’s note: This is a reprint (slightly edited) of a paper of the same title that appeared in the book Physics and Our World: A Symposium in Honor of Victor F. Weisskopf, published by the American Institute of Physics (1976). The personal tone of the original talk has been preserved in the paper, which was itself a slightly edited transcript of

Optimal Length of Low Reynolds Number Nanopropellers

Nano Letters, 2015
Locomotion in fluids at the nanoscale is dominated by viscous drag. One efficient propulsion scheme is to use a weak rotating magnetic field that drives a chiral object. From bacterial flagella to artificial drills, the corkscrew is a universally useful chiral shape for propulsion in viscous environments.

Low Reynolds Number Flow

2009
Newton’s second law of motion stipulates that the rate of change of momentum of a fluid parcel must be balanced by the body force exerted over the parcel volume and by the surface force exerted on the parcel boundary. Under certain conditions, the rate of change of momentum of the parcel is small compared to the body and surface force, and can be ...

Transonic low-Reynolds number airfoils

Journal of Aircraft, 1991
Airfoils operating in the unexplored high-Mach—low-Reynolds number regime are computationally investigated. The motivations are 1) quantificatio n of achievable airfoil performance levels; 2) quantificatio n of parameter sensitivities which impact vehicle sizing; 3) identification of possible shortcomings in the computational methods employed; and 4 ...
