The N-link model for slender rods in a viscous fluid: well-posedness and convergence to classical elastohydrodynamics equations

Clément Moreau, François Alouges, Aline Lefebvre-Lepot +1

Flexible fibers at the microscopic scale, such as flagella and cilia, play essential roles in biological and synthetic systems. The dynamics of these slender filaments in viscous f…
