This research investigates how microorganisms move in fluids, focusing on the mechanics of flagella. By combining experimental and theoretical methods, it aims to understand the fluid dynamics affecting locomotion, with applications in health and robotics.
The locomotion of microorganisms in fluids is a theme of major importance in biology.
It affects many processes such as mammalian reproduction, the marine life ecosystem, and the dynamics of bacterial infection.
Locomotion is typically achieved by the periodic deformation of flagella (short and flexible organelles) that drive the fluid motion around the microorganisms, and generate propulsive forces.
The shape of the flagella is, in turn, affected by the fluid dynamics forces generated by the or…
