Fig. 4. Flow conditions, based on numerical simulations, at the position
(X0, Y0) of stimulated cells of
Lingulodinium polyedrum for cell suspension experiments. Each point
represents the results for a single cell; approximately 40 cells were analyzed
for each flow rate. Filled symbols are for Re=800 while open symbols
are for Re=5100. (A) Position of stimulated cells. Curved line
represents the position of the wall. (B) Fluid acceleration. The broken line
represents a value of zero acceleration. (C) Fluid shear stress.
