Fluid dynamics and noise in bacterial cell–cell and cell–surface scattering (2011, background): “[32] Shum H, Gaffney EA, Smith DJ (2010) Modelling bacterial behaviour close to a no-slip plane boundary: the influence of bacterial geometry.”
The wiggling trajectories of bacteria (2012, methodology): “Instead, as in Ramia et al. (1993) and Shum et al. (2010), the flagellum base is separated from the cell body by a gap to prevent the close approach of moving surfaces.”
Mammalian Sperm Motility: Observation and Theory (2011, methodology): “…explanations for the boundary accumulation of bacteria have been reported (Berke et al. 2006), although a detailed consideration of cell geometry is required to additionally differentiate between stable surface swimming, descent into the boundary, and surface escape (Shum et al. 2010).”
Hydrodynamics of self-propulsion near a boundary: predictions and accuracy of far-field approximations (2012, background): “Such variations may well change the nature of the equilibrium states near the wall, and this is suggested by the work of Shum et al. (2010) and Elgeti, Kaupp & Gompper (2010).”
