Figure 1

The geometry of E. coli with flagella of the normal state and the discretized model. The value b is half the length of the long axis of the body, which is the unit length scale in our simulation, and is typically 1 μm for E. coli. Shaded circles in the diagram of the body represent the positions of first bead of each flagellum attached by a hook.
