Active particles in linear viscoelastic fluids and the scallop theorem

We derive a general formula for the inertialess dynamics of active particles in linear viscoelastic fluids by means of a modified reciprocal theorem. We then demonstrate that force-free active particles in Maxwell-like linear viscoelastic fluids with no retardation have exactly the same dynamics as in Newtonian fluids. In contrast, active particles in Jeffreys-like fluids with retardation can display markedly different dynamics, including net motion under reciprocal actuation thereby breaking the scallop theorem.
