Swimming Physiology.

open access: yesThe Annals of physiological anthropology, 1992
Swimming takes place in a medium, that presents different gravitational and resistive forces, respiratory conditions and thermal stress compared to air. The energy cost of propulsion in swimming is high, but a considerable reduction occurs at a given velocity as result of regular swim training.

Phoretic self-propulsion at finite P\'eclet numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Phoretic self-propulsion is a unique example of force- and torque-free motion on small scales. The classical framework describing the flow field around a particle swimming by self-diffusiophoresis neglects the advection of the solute field by the flow ...
