Modelling bacterial behaviour close to a no-slip plane boundary: the influence of bacterial geometry (2010, methodology): “The phase-plane plots suggest that the stable configuration has a large basin of attraction, whereas the previous work on spermatozoa (Smith et al. 2009) reported a somewhat sensitive dependence on the initial tilt angle, and observed that the same cell could swim steadily parallel to the surface or”
