We reconsider fluid dynamics for a self-propulsive swimmer in Stokes flow. With an exact definition of deformation of a swimmer, a proof is given to Purcells scallop theorem including the body rotation. The breakdown of the theorem due to a finite Stokes number is discussed by using a perturbation expansion method and it is found that the breakdown generally occurs at the first order of the Stokes number. In addition, employing the Purcells scallop model, we show that the theorem holds up to a higher order if the strokes of the swimmer has some symmetry.
By synergistically combining modeling, simulation and experiments, we show that there exists a regime of self-propulsion in which the inertia in the fluid dynamics can be separated from that of the swimmer. This is demonstrated by the motion of an as
When an elastic object is dragged through a viscous fluid tangent to a rigid boundary, it experiences a lift force perpendicular to its direction of motion. An analogous lift mechanism occurs when a rigid symmetric object translates parallel to an el
A finite form of de Finettis representation theorem is established using elementary information-theoretic tools: The distribution of the first $k$ random variables in an exchangeable binary vector of length $ngeq k$ is close to a mixture of product d
Despite the ubiquity of fluid flows interacting with porous and elastic materials, we lack a validated non-empirical macroscale method for characterizing the flow over and through a poroelastic medium. We propose a computational tool to describe such
We give a general method of extending unital completely positive maps to amalgamated free products of C*-algebras. As an application we give a dilation theoretic proof of Bocas Theorem.
