SUMMARY:The latest news on flagellar synchronization - Raymond Goldstein (
 DAMTP)

CONTACT:Doris Allen
DESCRIPTION:In nearly all of the contexts in biology in which groups of ci
 lia or flagella are found they exhibit some form of synchronized behaviour
 .  Since the experimental observations of Lord Rothschild in the late 1940
 s and G.I. Taylor's celebrated waving-sheet model\, it has been a working 
 hypothesis that synchrony is due in large part to hydrodynamic interaction
 s between beating filaments.  But it is only in the last few years\, and t
 hrough the work of many people in DAMTP\, that suitable methods have been 
 developed to test this hypothesis. In this talk I will summarize our recen
 t experimental and theoretical work addressing this important issue.\n
