The stationary model, doesn't offer much when it comes to dynamics and interesting behavior, which shouldn't surprise anyone. It does however offer us the opportunity to investigate at which angle the flow in the direction of the tube is highest, which could be helpful when planning how to optimize the use of bacteria as a source of flow.

The above figure shows the average flow velocity as a function of the angle of the flagella. In the abov case only one wall is taken in to account. The one of most importance is the top-one which shows the flow velocity parallel to the tube. According to these figures we get the best velocity at an angle of around 0.7 rad or approximately 40 degrees, where the angle is measured from the axis perpendicular to the wall.
