“…The subscripts U, S, and C denote, respectively, the contributions of the undulatory motion, background flow, and steric Lennard-Jones-like hindrance. We compute M(t), F U,x (t), F U,y (t), F S,x (t), (24,25). As the swimmer approaches the side wall, its head enters a region of low velocity while its tail remains exposed to a higher velocity (t = 2 s).…”
