Energetic cost of microswimmer navigation: The role of body shape
We study the energetic efficiency of navigating microswimmers by explicitly taking into account the geometry of their body. We show that, whereas arguments based solely on propulsion efficiency lead one to conclude that needle-like swimmers are most energetically efficient, disk-like swimmers rotate...
