In one of the first examples of how mechanics can inform axonemal mechanism, Machin's
study in the 1950s highlighted that observations of sperm motility cannot be explained by …

Selection of functional spermatozoa plays a crucial role in assisted reproduction. Passage of
spermatozoa through the female reproductive tract requires progressive motility to locate the …

Due to rising human infertility, sperm motility has been an important subject. Among the
hundreds of millions of sperms on the journey up the oviducts, only a few excellent travelers …

The inertialess fluid–structure interactions of active and passive inextensible filaments and
slender-rods are ubiquitous in nature, from the dynamics of semi-flexible polymers and …

Eukaryotic flagellar swimming is driven by a slender motile unit, the axoneme, which
possesses an internal structure that is essentially conserved in a tremendous diversity of …

Well-posedness and applications of classical elastohydrodynamics for a swimming filament
Page 1 Nonlinearity PAPER • OPEN ACCESS Well-posedness and applications of classical …

The dynamics of geometrically nonlinear flexible filaments play an important role in a host of
biological processes, from flagella-driven cell transport to the polymeric structure of complex …

The method of regularized stokeslets is extensively used in biological fluid dynamics due to
its conceptual simplicity and meshlessness. This simplicity carries a degree of cost in …

Eukaryotic cell swimming is frequently actuated via the flagellum, which is a slender flexible
appendage driven by waves of internal couples generated by dynein molecular motors …

The consideration of viscoelasticity within fluid dynamical boundary element methods has
traditionally required meshing over the whole flow domain. In turn, a major advantage of the …
