Bending fluctuations in semiflexible, inextensible, slender filaments in Stokes flow: towards a spectral discretization

Ondrej Maxian, Brennan Sprinkle, Aleksandar Donev

Semiflexible slender filaments are ubiquitous in nature and cell biology, including in the cytoskeleton, where reorganization of actin filaments allows the cell to move and divide.…
