Purcell’s Three-Link Swimmer: Assessment of Geometry and Gaits for Optimal Displacement and Efficiency

Purcell’s Three-Link Swimmer: Assessment of Geometry and Gaits for Optimal Displacement and Efficiency

This paper studies the displacement and efficiency of a Purcell’s three-link microswimmer in low Reynolds number regime, capable of moving by the implementation of a motion primitive or gait. An optimization is accomplished attending to the geometry of the swimmer and the motion primitives, consider...
