Abstract

This tool "Squirmer Flow Field Simulation" solves for the velocity field around a self_propulsion swimmer moving along x-direction with customized surface coefficients. After entering the surface coefficients, the tool also tells what kind of swimmer it is (neutral, puller or pusher). For convenience, the radius of the cylinder is normalized to 1 as by convention.
