Abstract
The swimming properties of magnetic micro-machines with spiral structures were analyed theoretically by employing the two-dimensional finite volume method. Good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results was obtained. It was demonstrated that the swimming properties of machines depend strongly on the operational environment, including the state of the flow field and machine structure. Thus, there exists an optimum machine structure corrensponding to the operation environment, which can be determined from the present analytical results.
