Floppy swimming: Viscous locomotion of actuated elastica
, 2007 Actuating periodically an elastic filament in a viscous liquid generally breaks the constraints of Purcell's scallop theorem, resulting in the generation of a net propulsive force.

‘If I go in like a cranky sea lion, I come out like a smiling dolphin’ : marathon swimming and the unexpected pleasures of being a body in water [PDF]
, 2013 Drawing on (auto)ethnographic research—on the process of becoming a marathon swimmer, this paper argues that conventional characterisations of marathon swimming as being ‘80 per cent mental and 20 per cent physical’ reprise a mind–body split that at ...

Swimming efficiency in a shear-thinning fluid
, 2017 Micro-organisms expend energy moving through complex media. While propulsion speed is an important property of locomotion, efficiency is another factor that may determine the swimming gait adopted by a micro-organism in order to locomote in an ...
