Metachronal Waves in Cellular Automata: Cilia-Like Manipulation in Actuator Arrays [PDF]
, 2014 Paramecium is covered by cilia. It uses the cilia to swim and transport food particles to its mouth. The cilia are synchronised into a collective action by propagating membrane potential and mechanical properties of their underlying membrane and the liquid phase environment.

Channel flow of Ellis fluid due to cilia motion
Nonlinear EngineeringIn this report, a theoretical study is directed at the cilia motion of the Ellis fluid model due to the propagation of an infinite metachronal wave train traveling along the walls of the channel due to the continuous beating of the cilia.

Partial Differential Equations in Applied MathematicsThe Phan–Thien–Tanner non-Newtonian model of fluid flow is considered to mathematically model the cilia governed flow inside human body. The collective action of cilia generates a rhythmic motion in form of metachronal wave travelling along the wall of ...
