Summary[edit]

Description

Figure 1. Flow Generation Mechanism

Circular clockwise motion of a cilium can generate directional leftward flow if its axis is not perpendicular to the cell surface but tilted posteriorly. Due to distance from the cell surface, a cilium in the leftward phase (red arrow) drags surrounding water more efficiently than the rightward phase (blue arrow), resulting in leftward force in total (purple arrow). See text for details. The rotating cilium is drawn slightly bent due to viscous resistance
