A three-sphere swimmer for flagellar synchronization
In a recent letter (Friedrich et al 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 138102), a minimal model swimmer has been proposed that propels itself at low Reynolds numbers by the revolving motion of a pair of spheres. The motion of the two spheres can synchronize by virtue of a hydrodynamic coupling that depends o...
