For live cells, the frequency of the oscillations increases with flow velocities while the amplitude decreases, as shown for experiment (symbols) and theory (black line/curve). Theory predicts the frequency to be proportional to the square root of velocity. The scaled velocity, Unorm, used for the abscissa is defined as the maximum flow velocity divided by the proper velocity of the trypanosomes.
