A note on the motion of an Ocean Bacterium in a Linear Shear Flow
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2009
Abstract
This paper treats a simple model, which can be exactly solved, motivated by the back-and-forth motion of ocean bacteria. In particular, the probability is determined that a bacterium moving randomly along a fluid line through the origin in a linear shear flow hits the origin before time t.
