Fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, for example the locomotion of cells such as bacteria and spermatozoa. This textbook details the mathematical modelling necessary to understand cell motility in fluids, with in-depth explanations suitable for beginning graduate students and researchers new to the field.
