Microbiological 0 uid mechanics : a tribute to Sir
نویسندگان
چکیده
The choice of title of this presentation comes from two papers that James Lighthill published in the issue of Journal of Engineering Mathematics commemorating H. A. Lorentz’s famous 1896 paper on 0uid mechanics [1]. This paper will discuss Lighthill’s signi)cant contribution to microbiological 0uid mechanics, both through his own work and his postgraduate and postdoctoral students, of which this author is one! The paper introduces the wide range of interests that Lighthill had in bio0uiddynamics and then moves to concentrate on contributions to microbiological 0uid mechanics. The presentation successively considers eukaryotic 0agellar propulsion, prokaryotic 0agellar propulsion, )lter feeding and ciliary propulsion. In the Spirit of Lighthill, the paper concludes with a list of topics of research in the area that have been identi)ed for further study. Copyright ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
