>> 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.
