Abstract
Deformation of Salmonella flagellum is analyzed considering the flagellum as a hollow cylinder which consists of 11 flagellin filaments. The torsional and bending moment in the cross section of the flagellum are obtained from viscous force exerted by the flow on the surface of the flagellum. The curvature and the torsion of the deformed flagellum are obtained according to the Kirchhoff elastic rod model. The elastic bending coefficient of Salmonella flagellum is estimated comparing the present numerical results with the experimental results of Hoshikawa et al.
