The system we are trying to model consists of a lot of bacteria stuck to a wall, but the part we are interested in is the flagellae and the forces they create. We therefore ignore the bodies of the bacteria, and instead consider the flagella as being stuck directly to the wall, with one end glued to the wall and the other pointing out into the fluid.

Next step is to figure out what kind of flowfield, such a pointforce creates. The flowfield created by a pointforce in a fluid with no walls or other obstructions near it can be calculated using the corresponding Green's function known as the stokeslet.
