Deformation of a micro-torque swimmer
The membrane tension of some kinds of ciliates has been suggested to regulate upward and downward swimming velocities under gravity. Despite its biological importance, deformation and membrane tension of a ciliate have not been clarified fully. In this study, we numerically investigated the deformation of a ciliate swimming freely in a fluid otherwise at rest. The cell body was modelled as a ca...
متن کاملPushmepullyou: an Efficient Micro-swimmer
The swimming of a pair of spherical bladders that can change its shape is elementary at small Reynolds numbers. If large strokes are allowed then the swimmer has superior efficiency to other models of artificial swimmers. The change of shape resembles the wriggling motion known as metaboly of certain protozoa. Swimming at low Reynolds numbers can be remote from common intuition because of the a...
متن کاملDumbbell micro-robot driven by flow oscillations
In this paper we study the self-propulsion of a dumbbell micro-robot submerged in a viscous fluid. The micro-robot consists of two rigid spherical beads connected by a rod or a spring; the rod’s/spring’s length is changing periodically. The constant density of each sphere differs from the density of a fluid, while the whole micro-robot has neutral buoyancy. An effective oscillating gravity fiel...
متن کاملModelling and controllability of the motion of a slender, flexible micro-swimmer
The mechanism of swimming at very low Reynolds number conditions is a topic of interest to biologists and engineering community. We develop a novel kinematic model of a slender flexible swimmer which locomotes in a low Reynolds number regime. In contrast to existing techniques that model such systems as a connected set of straight, rigid links, the novelty of our technique stems from the fact t...
متن کاملEffect of Heat Recirculation in Biomass Flame Stability within a Cylindrical Micro-Combustor (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Flame stability inside a cylindrical micro-combustor was studied. Considering occurrence of heat recirculation, the respective relations were written and with parameters such as motion speed of reactants, flame propagation speed and thermal conductivity of the combustor’s wall, flame stability and its location inside micro-combustor were studied. It was found that for each thermal conductivity ...
