Description:
Author(s): M. K. Jawed and P. M. Reis The effects of a no-slip wall on flagellar propulsion are investigated by experiments with macroscopic-scale model flagella and simulations based on algorithms from computer graphics. A nearby wall shifts the threshold for buckling of the flexible flagellum and increases the propulsive force. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 2, 034101] Published Fri Mar 24, 2017
