Fluid dynamics holds immense significance in numerous cellular processes, encompassing the movement of cells like bacteria and spermatozoa. These organisms possess flagella, slender organelles that exhibit periodic motion within a fluid environment, resulting in motility. Positioned at the crossroads of applied mathematics, physics, and biology, the fluid dynamics of cell motility stands as a remarkable application of mathematical tools in comprehending the biological realm. This comprehensive course, spanning several years, delves into the mathematical modelling required to understand cell motility in fluids, encompassing a wide range of phenomena, from single-cell motion to instabilities in cell populations. Each chapter introduces mathematical models to rationalize experimental observations, employs physical intuition to interpret mathematical outcomes, highlights the field's historical development, and discusses prominent current research questions. Extensive mathematical derivations are provided for students new to the field, accompanied by end-of-chapter exercises to reinforce understanding and practical application of the concepts.
