WebThis paper studies the displacement and efficiency of a Purcell’s three-link microswimmer in low Reynolds number regime, capable of moving by the implementation of a motion primitive or gait. An optimization is accomplished attending to the geometry of the swimmer and the motion primitives, considering the shape of the gait and its amplitude.

WebApr 13, 2024 · ABSTRACT. External gradients can strongly influence the collective behavior of microswimmers. In this paper, under an external linear chemical gradient, we study the behavior of two hydrodynamically interacting self-propelled chiral swimmers in the low-Reynolds number regime. We use the generalized squirmer model called the chiral … WebThe simplicity of Purcell’s swimmer may therefore prove practical in the design of micro-robots in addition to representing a useful model to explore fundamental aspects of self … mitsubishi fridge singapore
