Propulsion of a Two-Sphere Swimmer.
We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating fluid. The vibration of the fluid induces relative motion of the spheres which, for sufficiently large amplitudes, can lead to motion of the center of mass of the two spheres. We find that the swimming speed obtained...
متن کاملDianeutral Upwelling Without Dissipation of Kinetic Energy
Estimates of the upwelling of bottom and deep water have recently been used to deduce the magnitude of area-averaged mixing activity and the required dissipation of kinetic energy that is input by winds and tides. Here we raise questions about this link between upwelling and the dissipation of energy. Several processes are discussed, each of which lead to the upwelling of water across neutral d...
متن کاملOn self-propulsion of micro-machines at low Reynolds number: Purcell's three-link swimmer
Using slender-body hydrodynamics in the inertialess limit, we examine the motion of Purcell’s swimmer, a planar, fore–aft-symmetric three-link flagellum or propulsive mechanism that translates by alternately moving its front and rear segments. Purcell (1976) concluded via symmetry arguments that the net displacement of such a swimmer must follow a straight line, but the direction and other deta...
متن کاملSurface tank - treading : propulsion of Purcell ’ s toroidal swimmer
In this work we address the " smoking ring " propulsion technique, originally proposed by Purcell in [1]. We first consider self-locomotion of a doughnut-shaped swimmer powered by surface tank-treading. Different modes of surface motion are assumed and propulsion velocity and swimming efficiency are determined. The swimmer is propelled against the direction of its outer surface motion, the inne...
متن کاملTransversely Isotropic Magneto-Visco Thermoelastic Medium with Vacuum and without Energy Dissipation
In the present investigation the disturbances in a homogeneous transversely isotropic magneto-Visco thermoelastic rotating medium with two temperature due to thermomechanical sources has been addressed. The thermoelasticity theories developed by Green-Naghdi (Type II and Type III) both with and without energy dissipation has been applied to the thermomechanical sources. The Laplace and Fourier ...
