微尺度游动:分子动力学方法

Microscale swimming: The molecular dynamics approach

D. C. Rapaport

摘要:

利用分子动力学模拟研究了浸没在流体介质中的微观物体的自推进运动。原子方法的优点是,详细的描述水平允许完全自由地指定游泳者设计及其与周围流体的耦合。一系列的二维游泳机构采用各种推进机制-动机的生物和微型机器人的设计-进行了研究,包括使用移动的肢体,改变身体形状和流体射流。游泳效率和诱导的,随时间变化的流场的性质被发现有很大的不同机构的设计和推进机制。

英文摘要:

The self-propelled motion of microscopic bodies immersed in a fluid medium is studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The advantage of the atomistic approach is that the detailed level of description allows complete freedom in specifying the swimmer design and its coupling with the surrounding fluid. A series of two-dimensional swimming bodies employing a variety of propulsion mechanisms -- motivated by biological and microrobotic designs -- is investigated, including the use of moving limbs, changing body shapes and fluid jets. The swimming efficiency and the nature of the induced, time-dependent flow fields are found to differ widely among body designs and propulsion mechanisms.
