A new index for characterizing micro-bead motion in a flow induced by ciliary beating: Part II, modeling
Fig 3
Numerical simulation of the velocity field and micro-bead trajectories.
(A) Color view of the horizontal velocity field. The dashed square represents the zoomed-in area represented in Fig 3C. The beating parameters are: CBF = 10 Hz, CBA = 8 μm, λ = 10 μm, Φ = 0, h = 50 μm). (B) Color view of the vertical velocity field. The dashed square represents the zoomed-in area represented in Fig 3C. (C) Zoomed in horizontal (top frame) and vertical (bottom frame) velocity field. (D) Particle trajectories for several insertion points. The particles enter the fluid flow on the left side of the window and travel to the right.
