Helical propulsion in shear-thinning fluids
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-02-01)
Swimming micro-organisms often have to propel themselves in complex non-Newtonian fluids. We carry out experiments with self-propelling helical swimmers driven by an externally rotating magnetic field in shear-thinning ...
