Propulsive forces of a model helical flagellum in various fluids with viscoelasticity
Some microorganisms swim in the fluid by rotating their helical flagella rigidly, and many studies have been focused on the mechanics of their swimming in purely viscous Newtonian fluid such as water. Recently, attention has been paid to the effects of viscoelasticity on the swimming of microorganis...
