We discuss the modelling of a microswimmer that operates in a 'squirmer' mode, by means of stochastic rotation dynamics. The squirmer that we model can easily be tuned between a 'pusher' and a 'puller'. We examine the flows produced by the squirmer and find that there is good agreement between both the predicted and simulated velocities of locomotion and the resulting flow field.
我们讨论了一种通过随机旋转动力学以“蠕动者”模式运行的微游动器的建模。我们所建模的蠕动者可以很容易地在“推进器”和“拉动器”之间进行调节。我们研究了蠕动者产生的流动,发现运动的预测速度和模拟速度与所产生的流场之间都有很好的一致性。
