In-phase and anti-phase flagellar synchronization by basal coupling
G. S. Klindt, C. Ruloff, C. Wagner +1
We present a theory of flagellar synchronization in the green alga Chlamydomonas, using full treatment of flagellar hydrodynamics. We find that two recently proposed synchronizatio…

The buckling instability of aggregating red blood cells
Daniel Flormann, Othmane Aouane, Lars Kaestner +4
Plasma proteins such as fibrinogen induce the aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) into rouleaux, which are responsible for the pronounced shear thinning behavior of blood, control…

The load-response of the flagellar beat
Gary S. Klindt, Christian Ruloff, Christian Wanger +1
Cilia and flagella exhibit regular bending waves that perform mechanical work on the surrounding fluid, to propel cellular swimmers and pump fluids inside organisms. Here, we quant…
