Locomotion and Drift in Viscous Flows: Numerical and Asymptotic Predictions
We theoretically investigate the fluid mechanics of self-propelled (or swimming) bodies. An important factor concerning the hydrodynamics of locomotion concerns the relative strength of inertial to viscous forces experienced by the swimmer, the ratio of which is quantified by the Reynolds number, Re...
