Simulation of Micro Swimmer in Fluid at Low Reynolds Number, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Sadr Hosseini, Hani (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, two micro swimmers have been modeled using computational fluid dynamics and the motion specifications have been presented. The mechanisms can be used for different applications like drug delivery, monitoring, doing tasks in dangerous environments like robots and etc… . These moving mechanisms are inspired from a type of plankton named “cladoceran Podon Intermedius”, accordingly we have compared our results with data obtained by particle image velocimetry. For CFD simulation, an unstructured 2-dimensional mesh has been generated. Dynamic meshing has also been utilized in a meshing zone around the moving parts. Unsteady simulations were run for axisymmetric and plane symmetry...
