Propulsion Mechanism of Flexible Microbead Swimmers in the Low Reynolds Number Regime

Propulsion Mechanism of Flexible Microbead Swimmers in the Low Reynolds Number Regime

A propulsion mechanism for a flexible microswimmer constructed from superparamagnetic microbeads with different diameters and subjected to an oscillating field was studied experimentally and theoretically herein. Various types of artificial swimmers with different bending patterns were fabricated to...
