Abstract: The evolution equations for a small spherical low-Reynolds-number swimmer actuated by means of an imposed treadmilling action on its surface are derived by means of an asymptotic analysis.
Abstract: The asymptotic equations governing the evolution of a small circular treadmilling swimmer in a two-dimensional fluid confined by no-slip walls in the Stokes régime are derived correct to ...
