A limiting model for a low Reynolds number swimmer with N passive elastic arms

We consider a low Reynolds number artificial swimmer that consists of an active arm followed by $ N $ passive springs separated by spheres. This setup generalizes an approach proposed in Montino and DeSimone, Eur. Phys. J. E, vol. 38, 2015. We further study the limit as the number of springs tends t...
