Hydrodynamic analysis of flagellated bacteria swimming in corners of rectangular channels by Shum, H, Gaffney, EA

“…From these velocities, we construct many trajectories to ascertain the general behavior of the swimmers. Considering only hydrodynamic interactions between the bacterium and the channel walls, we show that some swimmers can become trapped near the corner while moving, on average, along the axis of the channel. …”
