摘要

In this work we address the "smoking ring" propulsion technique, originally proposed by Purcell [Am. J. Phys. 45, 3 (1977)] for self-locomotion at low Reynolds numbers. We first consider self-locomotion of a doughnut-shaped swimmer powered by surface rotation. Different modes of surface motion are assumed and propulsion velocity and swimming efficiency are determined. The swimmer is propelled against the direction of its outer surface motion, the inner surface having very little effect. The simplest swimming mode corresponding to constant angular velocity can achieve propulsion speeds of up to 66% of the surface tank-treading velocity and swimming efficiency of up to 13%. Higher efficiency is possible for more complicated modes powered by nonuniform twirling of extensible surface. A practical design of a necklace-shaped swimmer motivated by Purcell's idea is proposed and demonstrated numerically. Finally, the explicit solution is found for the two-dimensional swimmer composed of two counter-rotating disks, using complex variable techniques. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
