Interaction of two swimming bacterial models (cf. Ishikawa et al. 2007b). (a) Computational mesh for a bacterium model, in which 320 and 360 triangles are generated for a cell body and a flagellum, respectively. (b) Initial positions and trajectories of two interacting bacterial models. The two bacteria are initially set parallel each other, and their orientation vectors are in the x-direction.
