Phase Dependent Forcing and Synchronization in the three-sphere model of Chlamydomonas

The green alga {\it Chlamydomonas} swims with synchronized beating of its two flagella, and is experimentally observed to exhibit run-and-tumble behaviour similar to bacteria. Recently we studied a simple hydrodynamic three-sphere model of {\it Chlamydomonas} with a phase dependent driving force whi...
