SYMPOSIUM 1: DYNAMICS OF CIRCULATING PARTICLES: CELLS, CAPSULES AND MICROORGANISMS S1-1 On self-locomotion of small bodies without propulsion organelles A. Nir, D. Tsemakh and O.M. Lavrenteva Department of Chemical Engineering, Technion â Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel Biological bodies that lack organelles for locomotion can propel themselves in a viscous domain by inducing various modes of surface force variation. This ability is demonstrated via a physical model that uses internal secretion from within the body. The secretion establishes tension gradients on the surface that, ultimately, induce tangential ï¬ow and result in self locomotion. The basic phenomenon and its interaction with auxiliary effects, such as convection, deformation, gravity and the proximity of walls are demonstrated.
