Slip-enhanced swimming speed of a transverse sheet
ID: slip-enhanced-swimming-speed-of-a-transverse-sheet
At second order, the displaced-boundary Navier slip boundary condition gives at . Its mean shear is zero in a bounded half-space flow, so the Navier-slip Taylor swimming sheet dimensionless speed is . The sheet travels opposite to the wave. This fixed-slip asymptotic expansion predicts a speed enhancement factor .
