🧬 2D Swimming at Low Reynolds Number: Flagellar Traveling Wave, Scallop Theorem and Resistive Force Theory Lab
Interactive low-Reynolds swimming lab: a flagellated cell solved by resistive force theory (force and torque balance every step) beside a reciprocal twin that illustrates the scallop theorem, with viscosity independence, drag-force arrows and four in-page numerical checks.
