Self-learning how to swim at low Reynolds number [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Synthetic microswimmers show great promise in biomedical applications such as drug delivery and microsurgery. Their locomotion, however, is subject to stringent constraints due to the dominance of viscous over inertial forces at low Reynolds number (Re ...

Acoustic mixing at low Reynold’s numbers [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2006
In microfluidic devices, hydrodynamic flow is usually governed by very low Reynold’s numbers. Under these conditions, only laminar flow is possible. Hence, mixing in microfluidics occurs by diffusion only. Interaction of small fluid volumes and acoustic waves in a solid leads to pronounced streaming effects in the fluid inducing mixing and stirring ...

Flow characteristics over NACA4412 airfoil at low Reynolds number

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
In this study, the flow phenomena over NACA4412 were experimentally observed at various angle of attack and Reynolds number of 25000, 50000 and 75000, respectively.

Control surface effectiveness of low Reynolds number flight vehicles

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2014
Low-speed wind tunnel tests are carried out to investigate the control surface effectiveness at low Reynolds numbers (Re = 20,000-80,000). A thick airfoil, NACA0012, has a nonlinearity of the control surface effectiveness, which are associated with flow ...

Hydromechanics of low-Reynolds-number flow. Part 4. Translation of spheroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
The problem of a uniform transverse flow past a prolate spheroid of arbitrary aspect ratio at low Reynolds numbers has been analysed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The solution is found to depend on two Reynolds numbers, one based on the

Design of a control system for a 1.5 m diameter coaxial rigid rotor model

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan
As a key equipment for rotor wind tunnel testing, the design specifications and control accuracy of the rotor test bench directly determine the testing accuracy and effectiveness of the rotor wind tunnel testing.

Dynamics and Stability of Low-Reynolds-Number Swimming Near a Wall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The locomotion of microorganisms and tiny artificial swimmers is governed by low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics, where viscous effects dominate and inertial effects are negligible.

Numerical Validation of a Multi-Dimensional Similarity Law for Scaled STOVL Aircraft Models

open access: yesAerospace
The complex jet-ground interactions of Short Take-off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft are critical to flight safety and performance, yet studying them with traditional full-scale wind tunnel tests is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming ...
