Metachronal Swimming With Rigid Arms Near Boundaries

Metachronal Swimming With Rigid Arms Near Boundaries

Various organisms such as crustaceans use their appendages for locomotion. If they are close to a confining boundary then viscous as opposed to inertial effects can play a central role in governing the dynamics. To study the minimal ingredients needed for swimming without inertia, we built an experi...
