Axonemal regulation by curvature explains sperm flagellar waveform modulation
Meurig T Gallagher, Jackson C Kirkman-Brown, David J Smith
Flagellar motility is critical to natural and many forms of assisted reproduction. Rhythmic beating and wave propagation by the flagellum propels sperm through fluid and enables mo…
The art of coarse Stokes: Richardson extrapolation improves the accuracy and efficiency of the method of regularized stokeslets
Meurig Gallagher, David Smith
The method of regularised stokeslets is widely used in microscale biological fluid dynamics due to its ease of implementation, natural treatment of complex moving geometries, and r…
Passively parallel regularized stokeslets
Meurig T. Gallagher, David J. Smith
Stokes flow, discussed by G.G. Stokes in 1851, describes many microscopic biological flow phenomena, including cilia-driven transport and flagellar motility; the need to quantify a…
Doing more with less: the flagellar end piece enhances the propulsive effectiveness of human spermatozoa
Cara V. Neal, Atticus L. Hall-McNair, Jackson Kirkman-Brown +2
Spermatozoa self-propel by propagating bending waves along a predominantly active elastic flagellum. The organized structure of the "9 + 2" axoneme is lost in the most-distal few m…
Simulations of particle tracking in the oligociliated mouse node and implications for left-right symmetry breaking mechanics
Meurig T. Gallagher, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, David J. Smith
The concept of internal anatomical asymmetry is familiar; usually in humans the heart is on the left and the liver is on the right, however how does the developing embryo know to p…
Efficient Implementation of Elastohydrodynamics via Integral Operators
Atticus L. Hall-McNair, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Hermes Gadelha +2
The dynamics of geometrically non-linear flexible filaments play an important role in a host of biological processes, from flagella-driven cell transport to the polymeric structure…
