An elastohydrodynamical simulation study of filament and spermatozoan swimming driven by internal couples

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. Here we adapt a regularized elastohydrodynamic model of flagella by Simons et al. (2015, A fully three-dimensional model...
