Odd Elastohydrodynamics: Non-Reciprocal Living Material in a Viscous Fluid
Kenta Ishimoto, Clément Moreau, Kento Yasuda
Abstract
This study expands the odd-elastic description of microswimmers to a nonlinear regime and provides a unified framework for studying non-local, non-reciprocal interactions of an elastic material in a viscous fluid, like biological flagellar motion.
