Flow Features of Three Side-by-side Circular Cylinders at Low Reynolds Number
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 In order to study the fluctuation of kinetic parameter of cylinder matrix in incompressible stationary flow, the flow fluid around three side-by-side circular cylinders are simulated using Immersed Boundary–Lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM).

Low Reynolds Number Nozzle Flow Study [PDF]
An experimental study of low Reynolds number nozzle flow was performed. A brief comparison was made between some of the experimental performance data and performance predicted by a viscous flow code. The performance of 15, 20, and 25 deg conical nozzles,

Low Reynolds number swimming in complex environments
, 2010 The study of swimming micro-organisms has been of interest not just to biologists, but also to fluid dynamicists for over a century. As they are rarely in isolation, much interest has been focused on the study of the swimmers’ interaction with their ...

The Penguin: a Low Reynolds Number Powered Glider for Station Keeping Missions [PDF]
The Penguin is a low Reynolds number (approx. 100,000) remotely piloted vehicle (RPV). It was designed to fly three laps indoors around two pylons in a figure-eight course while maximizing loiter time.

Soft swimming: Exploiting deformable interfaces for low-Reynolds number locomotion
, 2008 Reciprocal movement cannot be used for locomotion at low-Reynolds number in an infinite fluid or near a rigid surface. Here we show that this limitation is relaxed for a body performing reciprocal motions near a deformable interface.
