Description
English: Bacterial twitching model

(a) Schematic of bacterial twitching

(b) CFD-DEM model. The rod-shaped bacteria are modelled as a group of spherical particles rigidly assembled together. The pili are emanated from the bacterial pole coloured in red. Each pilus is modelled as a dynamic spring which can elongate, attach, retract and detach from the surface.
