Regulation Dynamics and Pathfinding Techniques for Helical Bioinspired Microswimmers
摘要
The difficulties encountered during navigation by a low Reynolds number helical bioinspired microswimmer driven by rotating flagella are examined and resolved. We tackle the problem of both the direct and inverse directions: forecasting the swimmer’s velocity and trajectories given rotation rates, and figuring out the best rotation rates to reach desired translational and rotational velocities, which will ultimately lead the swimmer on desirable pathways. The equations of motion connect translational and rotational velocities by balancing the forces and torques applied to the swimmer. Furthermore, the relative performance of the propulsive flagella with different chirality is examined by analyzing their design.
