Theoretical modelling of bacterial motor dynamics — •Eva Baresel and Rudolf Friedrich — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster

As a model for bacterial motors we consider the dynamics of an ensemble of swimming objects which are composed of two rigidly connected point vortices. The single objects are able to propel or to tumble depending on the circulations of the single point vortices. We discuss the collective behaviour for several of these objects by means of numerical calculations.
