Optimal Strokes of Low Reynolds Number Linked-Sphere Swimmers
Applied Sciences, 2019 Optimal gait design is important for micro-organisms and micro-robots that propel themselves in a fluid environment in the absence of external force or torque.

Propulsion at low Reynolds number [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2005 We study the propulsion of two model swimmers at low Reynolds number. Inspired by Purcell's model, we propose a very simple one-dimensional swimmer consisting of three spheres that are connected by two arms whose lengths can change between two values. The proposed swimmer can swim with a special type of motion, which breaks the time-reversal symmetry ...

Decay of Turbulence at High Reynolds Numbers [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2015 Turbulent motions in a fluid decay at a certain rate once stirring has stopped. The role of the most basic parameter in fluid mechanics, the Reynolds number, in setting the decay rate is not generally known. This Letter concerns the high-Reynolds-number limit of the process. In a classical grid-turbulence wind-tunnel experiment that both reaches higher

Valveless Pumping at Low Reynolds Numbers
Physical Review Applied, 2023 Pumping at low Reynolds number is a ubiquitously encountered feature, both in biological organisms and engineered devices. Generating net flow requires the presence of an asymmetry in the system, which traditionally comes from geometric flow rectifiers.

Steady flow over triangular extended solid attached to square cylinder – A method to reduce drag
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2015 Numerical analysis of two dimensional steady flows over a triangular extended solid (thorn) attached to square cylinder positioned at front stagnation point and at rear stagnation point separately is reported at low Reynolds number (Re = 40).

Olfactory search at high Reynolds number [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 Locating the source of odor in a turbulent environment—a common behavior for living organisms—is nontrivial because of the random nature of mixing. Here we analyze the statistical physics aspects of the problem and propose an efficient strategy for olfactory search that can work in turbulent plumes.

EnergiesThe early stages of hydrogen–air and methane–air flame dynamics and the development and evolution of tulip flames in closed tubes of various aspect ratios and in a semi-open tube are studied by solving the fully compressible reactive Navier–Stokes ...

Rotational Maneuvers of Copepod Nauplii at Low Reynolds Number
Fluids, 2020 Copepods are agile microcrustaceans that are capable of maneuvering freely in water. However, the physical mechanisms driving their rotational motion are not entirely clear in small larvae (nauplii).

Reynolds number effects on the Reynolds-stress budgets in turbulent channels [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 2008 Budgets for the nonzero components of the Reynolds-stress tensor are presented for numerical channels with Reynolds numbers in the range Reτ=180–2000. The scaling of the different terms is discussed, both above and within the buffer and viscous layers. Above x2+≈150, most budget components scale reasonably well with uτ3/h, but the scaling with uτ4/ν is
