Generalised geometric swimming for Stokes flow (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2019). Generalised geometric swimming for Stokes flow. In 72nd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics. Meeting Abstracts

Shapere and Wilczek first demonstrated that the displacement of a microscopic swimmer was related to path integrals over a gauge field. This field is a function of the swimmers configuration and laboratory frame position. For simple 1D swimmers, Stok... Read More about Generalised geometric swimming for Stokes flow.
