Figure 1.

Example results from non-local elastohydrodynamic simulation. (a) Plot of the problem domain, including the boundary element meshes for the wall and swimmer, and a plot of the trajectory, computed at Sp=13. (b) Waveforms in infinite fluid of flagella driven by the same internal force at different sperm numbers. The effect of increasing sperm number is to reduce cell yaw and bending in the proximal end of the flagellum, as is observed in the waveform of sperm in high viscosity medium [42].
