abstract = {The synchronization and bundling process of bacterial
flagella is investigated by mesoscale hydrodynamic
simulations. Systems with two to six flagella are
considered, which are anchored at one end, and are driven by
a constant torque. A flagellum is modelled as a linear
helical structure composed of mass points with their elastic
shape maintained by bonds, bending, and torsional
potentials. The characteristic times for synchronization and
bundling are analyzed in terms of motor torque, separation,
and number of flagella. We find that hydrodynamic
interactions determine the bundling behavior. The
synchronization time is smaller than the bundling time, but
their ratio depends strongly on the initial separation. The
bundling time decreases with increasing number of flagella
at a fixed radius in a circular arrangement due to
multi-helix hydrodynamics.},
