<p style="text-align: justify;">In the end this model showed us that in less than 100ns the velocity of the flagella would be the same as the velocity of the fluid when the flagella started with a velocity of zero, '''''after that the two velocities never diverged far from each other.''''' Since the velocity of the flagella always went to the velocity of the fluid on such a short timescale and since these calculations took a lot of computerpower we decided that instead of force calculations we would simpy find the flow velocity at the tip of the flagellum and convert that directly to the angular velocity of the flagellum.
