Abstract

<jats:p>Using a multiple-scale analysis, Walker <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> (<jats:italic>J. Fluid Mech.</jats:italic>, vol. 944, 2022, R2) obtain the long-time behaviour of a shape-changing swimmer in a Poiseuille flow. They show that the behaviour falls into one of three categories: endless tumbling at increasing distance from the midline of the flow; preserved initial behaviour of the swimmer; or convergence to upstream rheotaxis, where the swimmer is situated at the midline of the flow. Furthermore, a single swimmer-dependent constant is identified that determines which of the three behaviours is realised.</jats:p>
