- Additional information
- This paper impacts the state of the art by creating a fully analytical model for the acoustic propulsion of an inhomogeneous sphere at low Reynolds numbers. Understanding the details of slender body propulsion is a key stage of the research for bio-medical use of acoustic propulsion, since most drug carriers that are currently tested are of this type.
