On the limitations of some popular numerical models of flagellated microswimmers: importance of long-range forces and flagellum waveform

For a sperm-cell-like flagellated swimmer in an unbounded domain, several numerical models of different fidelity are considered based on the Stokes flow approximation. The models include a regularized Stokeslet method and a three-dimensional finite-element method, which serve as the benchmark soluti...
