>> Abstract:
>>  I will present some recent results on the analysis of two swimmer 
>> models (one actuated externally and the other internally). These 
>> models provide an example of propulsion at low Reynolds number 
>> resulting from the periodical beating of a passive elastic filament. 
>> Motions produced by generic periodic actuations are studied within 
>> the regime of small compliance of the filament. The analysis shows 
>> that variations in the velocity of beating can generate different 
>> swimming trajectories. Motion control through modulations of the 
>> actuation velocity will be discussed.
