Hydrodynamics of micro-swimmers in films

One of the principal mechanisms by which surfaces and interfaces affect microbial life is by perturbing the hydrodynamic flows generated by swimming. By summing a recursive series of image systems we derive a numerically tractable approximation to the threedimensional flow fields of a Stokeslet (poi...
