      abstract     = {Sperm are propelled by an actively beating tail, and
                      display a wide variety of swimming patterns. When confined
                      between two parallel walls, sperm swim either in circles or
                      on curvilinear trajectories close to the walls. We employ
                      mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations in combination with a
                      mechanical sperm model to study the swimming behavior near
                      walls. The simulations show that sperm become captured at
                      the wall due to the hydrodynamic flow fields which are
                      generated by the flagellar beat. The circular trajectories
                      are determined by the chiral asymmetry of the sperm shape.
                      For strong (weak) chirality, sperm swim in tight (wide)
                      circles, with the beating plane of the flagellum oriented
                      perpendicular (parallel) to the wall. For comparison, we
                      also perform simulations based on a local anisotropic
                      friction of the flagellum. In this resistive force
                      approximation, surface adhesion and circular swimming
                      patterns are obtained as well. However, the adhesion
                      mechanism is now due to steric repulsion, and the
                      orientation of the beating plane is different. Our model
                      provides a theoretical framework that explains several
                      distinct swimming behaviors of sperm near and far from a
                      wall. Moreover, the model suggests a mechanism by which
                      sperm navigate in a chemical gradient via a change of their
                      shape.},
