Computational Study of Micropropulsion Mechanism in Water Modeled on Flagellum with Projecting Mastigonemes

The application of dynamics in organisms to the field of engineering is very instructive. From this point of view, we aimed at examining the micropropulsion mechanism modeled on aquatic microorganisms, and proposed a micropropulsion mechanism modeled on a flagellum with projecting mastigonemes that...
