The paper models E. coli run-and-tumble behavior using fluid dynamics simulations and experiments, finding that flagellar rigidity and arrangement, not number, primarily influence motility.

This study develops a trypanosome model and uses hydrodynamic simulations to analyze how mechanical features affect swimming behavior, showing the importance of body elasticity and flagellum dynamics.

This study models vesicle translocation through membrane-covered pores, showing that adhesion energy and membrane deformation influence translocation efficiency and barrier height.

This study uses simulations to show that thickness inhomogeneities in the brain's cortex lead to complex folding patterns, resembling higher-order brain structures.
