A hydrodynamic model of bacterial motors — •Johannes Greber — Institut für Theoretische Physik WWU Münster

We consider a simple model for bacterial motors moving in two dimensional fluids. The objects are rigidly connected point vortices. We investigate in detail a case of propelling objects and perform an analysis of the collision process between two counterpropagating swimmers.
