Figure 2


Fig. 2. Schematic of an aesthetasc or mechanoreceptor sensillum on a downward flicking flagellum rotating at angular velocity {Omega} relative to its base (see Fig. 1). The fluid velocity approaching the flagellum, Uyf, generates components Uns=Uyfcos{varphi} and Uts=Uyfsin{varphi} along the normal (ns) and tangent (ts) to the sensillum, where {varphi}={gamma}–{psi}.
