Numerical Computation of Low Reynolds Number Viscous Flow Past Bluff Bodies
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2020 This article presents a two-dimensional steady viscous flow simulation past circular and square cylinders at low Reynolds numbers (based on the diameter) by the finite volume method with a non-orthogonal body-fitted grid. Diffusive fluxes are discretized

Aerodynamics of two-dimensional bristled wings in low-Reynolds-number flow
AIP Advances, 2021 The smallest flying insects commonly possess bristled wings and use drag to provide flight forces. A bristled wing, with a wing area about 10% of that of a flat-plate wing, operating at the relevant Reynolds number of 5–15, produces a drag close to the ...

A low-Reynolds-number treadmilling swimmer near a semi-infinite wall
, 2011 We investigate the behavior of a treadmilling microswimmer in a two-dimensional unbounded domain with a semi-infinite no-slip wall. The wall can also be regarded as a probe or pipette inserted into the flow.

Subsuns and Low Reynolds Number Flow [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1998 The phenomenon called the ``sub-Sun'' is the specular reflection of sunlight by horizontally oriented plates of ice. Although well-known in meteorological optics, the hydrodynamics of the orientation is not quantitatively understood. I review the theory of torques on objects at low Reynolds numbers, define coefficients $C_o$, $C_p$, and $C_ψ$ which ...
