Optimal transport of surface-actuated microswimmers
We analyze the transport behavior of surface-actuated spheroidal microswimmers that locomote steadily with or without a spatiotemporally uniform external forcing. The surface actuation is in the form of either a tangential surface motion or a zero-net-mass-flux wall-normal transpiration. Starting fr...
