Some mathematical models for flagellar activation mechanisms
François Alouges, Irene Anello, Antonio DeSimone +2
This paper focuses on studying a model for molecular motors responsible for the bending of the axoneme in the flagella of microorganisms. The model is a coupled system of partial d…

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…
