与朋友以低Reynolds number游泳

Swimming with a friend at low Reynolds number

C. M. Pooley, G. P. Alexander, J. M. Yeomans

摘要:

研究了低雷诺数下微生物游动时的流体动力学相互作用。通过考虑简单的模型游泳者,并结合解析和数值方法,我们调查的时间平均流场周围的游泳者。在短距离内,游泳者的动作就像抽水机一样。在大的距离上,速度场取决于泳姿在时间反演和宇称变换的组合下是否不变。然后,我们考虑两个游泳者,发现它们之间的相互作用由两部分组成;一个死项,独立于第二个游泳者的运动,它采取预期的偶极形式和一个活项,导致两个游泳者的同时游泳动作,不。我们认为,一般来说,后者占主导地位。游泳者-游泳者相互作用是它们的相对位移、取向和相位的复杂函数,导致可以是吸引、排斥或振荡的运动。

英文摘要:

We investigate the hydrodynamic interactions between microorganisms swimming at low Reynolds number. By considering simple model swimmers, and combining analytic and numerical approaches, we investigate the time-averaged flow field around a swimmer. At short distances the swimmer behaves like a pump. At large distances the velocity field depends on whether the swimming stroke is invariant under a combined time-reversal and parity transformation. We then consider two swimmers and find that the interaction between them consists of two parts; a dead term, independent of the motion of the second swimmer, which takes the expected dipolar form and a live term resulting from the simultaneous swimming action of both swimmers which does not. We argue that, in general, the latter dominates. The swimmer--swimmer interaction is a complicated function of their relative displacement, orientation and phase, leading to motion that can be attractive, repulsive or oscillatory.
