Rotating helices in dilute suspensions of neutrally buoyant spheres show increased drag anisotropy and up to 60% faster swimming at fixed rotation speed, explained by a stresslet-based theory of force-free particles.
(8) predicts an increase in the drag anisotropy of a cylinder, and an improvement in helical propulsion, in a suspension
