Reptation motion of animals in a fluid
V. M. Shapovalov Volgograd State Technical University, Volgograd, 400103, Russia
Abstract:
The plane problem of reptation motion of a biological object in a viscous fluid is solved analytically in a long-wave approximation. The motion if laminar. Computational expressions and asymptotic estimates are obtained for the axial and shear forces, expended energy, and motion trajectory. Results of a numerical analysis of the solution are given.
Keywords:
reptation motion, laminar motion, long-wave approximation.
