(a,b) Top row: Motion of sphere 1 at two possible phases ϕ1 (solid and open circles) induces flows (blue arrows) which alter the trajectory of sphere 2, either speeding it up (green), or slowing it down (red). (a,b) Bottom row: Converse perspective. (c) Elastic coupling between flagella can induce either IP or AP modes.
