At high concentration, free swimming nematodes known as vinegar eels ({\it Turbatrix aceti}), collectively exhibit metachronal waves near a boundary. We find that the frequency of the collective traveling wave is lower than that of the…
We investigate synchronization and metachronal-wave formation in a one-dimensional array of eukaryotic flagella using an elastohydrodynamic model. In contrast to a two-flagellum system, where only in-phase synchronization is stable, larger…
