Computing Flows Around Microorganisms: Slender-Body Theory and Beyond
We present the mathematical framework that governs the interaction of a forcegenerating microorganism with a surrounding viscous fluid. We review slender-body theories that have been used to study flagellar motility, along with the method of regularized Stokeslets. We investigate the role of a dinoflagellate transverse flagellum as well as the flow structures near a choanoflagellate.
متن کاملExperimental verification of an Oseen flow slender body theory
Consider uniform flow past four slender bodies with elliptical cross-section of constant ellipticity along the length of 0, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.375, respectively, for each body. Here, ellipticity is defined as the ratio of the semiminor axis of the ellipse to the semimajor axis. The bodies have a pointed nose which gradually increases in cross-section with a radius of curvature 419mm to a mid-sec...
متن کاملHydrodynamics and String Theory
where lmicro is a characteristic scale of microscopic processes in the system (e.g. a correlation length), and L is a typical size of the system. Hydrodynamic description becomes unreliable when the inequality (1) is not satisfied. Schwarzschild black holes do not correspond to any hydrodynamic regime in a (hypothetical) holographicaly dual description because in that case L ∼ 1/T ∼ lmicro. We ...
متن کاملComparison of Kinetic Theory and Hydrodynamics for Poiseuille Flow
Abstract. Comparison of particle (DSMC) simulation with the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations for pressure-driven plane Poiseuille flow is presented and contrasted with that of the acceleration-driven Poiseuille flow. Although for the acceleration-driven case DSMC measurements are qualitatively different from the NS solution at relatively low Knudsen number, the two are in ...
متن کاملO-11: Dynamics of Flagellar Force Generated by A Hyperactivated Spermatozoon
Background: To clarify the mechanism of sperm penetration through the zona pellucida, the flagellar force generated by a hyperactivated spermatozoon was evaluated using the resistive force theory applied to the hyperactivated flagellar waves that were obtained from the mammalian spermatozoa. Materials and Methods: The hydrodynamic calculation of the flagellar force of the activated (non-hyperac...
