我们讨论了一个microswimmer的建模，在一个“蠕动”模式，通过随机旋转动力学。我们建模的蠕动器可以很容易地在“推动器”和“拉动器”之间进行调整。我们研究了由蠕动产生的流动，并发现有很好的协议之间的预测和模拟速度的运动和产生的流场。
We discuss the modelling of a microswimmer that operates in a 'squirmer' mode, by means of stochastic rotation dynamics. The squirmer that we model can easily be tuned between a 'pusher' and a 'puller'. We examine the flows produced by the squirmer and find that there is good agreement between both the predicted and simulated velocities of locomotion and the resulting flow field.
