Experimental Investigations of Elastic Tail Propulsion At Low Reynolds Number

Yu, Tony S.; Lauga, Eric; Hosoi, A.E. (2007-05-04)

A simple way to generate propulsion at low Reynolds number is to periodically oscillate a passive flexible filament. Here we present a macroscopic experimental investigation of such a propulsive mechanism. A robotic swimmer ...
