A Comment on "Optimal Stroke Patterns for Purcell's Three-Link Swimmer"
O. Raz, J.E. Avron
TL;DR
This paper critiques and improves upon existing stroke patterns for Purcell's three-link swimmer, especially at large aspect ratios, by proposing more effective patterns than previously suggested.
Contribution
It identifies superior stroke patterns for the swimmer at large aspect ratios, advancing the understanding of optimal locomotion strategies.
Findings
New stroke patterns outperform previous ones at large aspect ratios
Enhanced swimming efficiency demonstrated through comparative analysis
Provides insights into optimal design for low-Reynolds-number swimmers
Abstract
For large enough aspect ratio, we find better stroke patterns then the patterns proposed by D. Tam and A.P.Hosoi in their letter to PRL "Optimal Stroke Patterns for Purcell's Three-Link Swimmer".
