A numerical method for the locomotion of bi-flagellated bacteria in viscous fluid

Flagellated bacteria propel themselves by rotating flexible flagella driven by independent motors. Depending on the rotation direction of the motors and the handedness of the helical filaments, the flagella either pull or push the cell body. Motivated by experimental observations of Magnetococcus ma...
