A new index for characterizing micro-bead motion in a flow induced by ciliary beating: Part II, modeling
Fig 4
(A) Contribution of the different order of the micro-beads velocity The blue dashed line represent the effective velocity (in μm.s-1). Green dashed line represent the contribution of the first order of the fluid velocity. The red dashed line represented the contribution of the second order. Black points are the contribution of the parabolic term of the second order. Magenta points are the contribution of the exponential function. Ciliary beating parameters are the following: CBF = 10.0 Hz, CBA = 8.0 μm, λ = 10 μm, ϕ = 0 and h = 100 μm. (B) Examples of parabolic fitting on microbead velocity measurements on 3 different ciliated edges (see companion paper [11]).
