Locomotion of a rotating cylinder pair with periodic gaits at low Reynolds numbers

© 2020 Author(s). We consider the periodic gaits of a microswimmer formed by two rotating cylinders, placed apart at a fixed width. Through a combination of theoretical arguments and numerical simulations, we derive semi-analytic expressions for the system's instantaneous translational and rota...
