The Role of the Double-Layer Potential in Regularised Stokeslet Models of Self-Propulsion by David J. Smith, Meurig T. Gallagher, Rudi Schuech, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson

“…We describe a meshless approach enabling the inclusion of the double layer which is applied to several Stokes flow problems in which neglect of the double layer is not strictly valid: the drag on a spherical droplet with partial-slip boundary condition, swimming velocity and rate of working of a force-free spherical squirmer, and trajectory, swimmer-generated flow and rate of working of undulatory swimmers of varying slenderness. …”

Hydrodynamics of an odd active surfer in a chiral fluid by Yuto Hosaka, Ramin Golestanian, Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider

“…In addition, we show that a pair of swimmers exhibits a wealth of two-body dynamics that depends on the initial relative orientation angles as well as on the propulsion mechanism adopted by each swimmer. …”

Low Reynolds Number Swimming Near Interfaces in Multi-Fluid Media by Avriel Cartwright, Jian Du

“…Our simulation results indicate that the interface dynamics and phase separation in the multi-fluid mixture are closely coupled with the movement of the swimmer. Depending on the interface location, the frictional coefficient, and the multi-fluid composition, the swimmer can move faster or slower than that in a single phase fluid.…”

Control and controllability of microswimmers by a shearing flow by Moreau, C, Ishimoto, K, Gaffney, EA, Walker, BJ

“…In both the applications and theoretical study of such microscale swimmers, control is often mediated by an engineered property of the swimmer, such as in the case of magnetically propelled microrobots. …”

A general perturbative approach for bead-based microswimmers reveals rich self-propulsion phenomena by Sebastian Ziegler, Maxime Hubert, Nicolas Vandewalle, Jens Harting, Ana-Sunčana Smith

“…Given its generality, the framework can be applied to any swimmer geometry, driving protocol and bead interactions, as well as in problems involving many swimmers.…”

Rheotaxis of spheroidal squirmers in microchannel flow: Interplay of shape, hydrodynamics, active stress, and thermal fluctuations by Kai Qi, Hemalatha Annepu, Gerhard Gompper, Roland G. Winkler

“…Specifically, the influence of swimmer shape—spherical vs spheroidal—, active stress—pusher, ciliate, puller—, and thermal fluctuations on their rheotactic behavior is analyzed. …”

Flagellum-driven cargoes: Influence of cargo size and the flagellum-cargo attachment geometry. by Albert J Bae, Raheel Ahmad, Eberhard Bodenschatz, Alain Pumir, Azam Gholami

“…To this end, we take advantage of the low Reynolds number of the fluid flows generated by the micro-swimmer, which allows us to neglect fluid inertia. …”

Collective behaviour of model microswimmers by Putz, V

“…</p><p>Finally, we explore the phenomenon of synchronisation between microswimmers through hydrodynamic interactions, using the method of constraint forces on a force-based swimmer. We find that the hydrodynamic interactions between swimmers can alter the relative phase between them such that phase-locking can occur over the long term, altering their collective motion.…”

New insights into the evolution of portunoid swimming crabs (Portunoidea, Heterotremata, Brachyura) and the brachyuran axial skeleton by Dennis Hazerli, Christoph Gert Höpel, Stefan Richter

“…We use the term “P5-swimming crab” or “P5-swimmer” herein, not only to restrict it to the morphotype, but also to distinguish the swimming in question from other kinds of swimming in Brachyura. …”
