Quantification of Flagellar Gait Changes with Combined Shape Mode Analysis and Swimming Simulations
Kelli E. Gutierrez, Becca Thomases, Paulo E. Arratia +1
Many different microswimmers propel themselves using flagella that beat periodically. The shape of the flagellar beat and swimming speed have been observed to change with fluid rhe…
