Propulsion by a Helical Flagellum in a Capillary Tube
Bin Liu, Kenneth S. Breuer, Thomas R. Powers
We study the microscale propulsion of a rotating helical filament confined by a cylindrical tube, using a boundary-element method for Stokes flow that accounts for helical symmetry…

Helical swimming in Stokes flow using a novel boundary-element method
Bin Liu, Kenneth S. Breuer, Thomas R. Powers
We apply the boundary-element method to Stokes flows with helical symmetry, such as the flow driven by an immersed rotating helical flagellum. We show that the two-dimensional boun…
