Abstract: | The plane problem of reptation motion of a biological object in a viscous fluid is solved analytically in a long-wave approximation. The motion if laminar. Computational expressions and asymptotic estimates are obtained for the axial and shear forces, expended energy, and motion trajectory. Results of a numerical analysis of the solution are given.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 106–115, September–October, 2005. |
