a model of microorganism swimming in which each segment of a slender flagellum feels local drag forces that differ for motion along and across it.

In biophysics, resistive force theory refers to a model of microorganism swimming in which each segment of a slender flagellum feels local drag forces that differ for motion along and across it. This meaning comes from Gray (1955) in Journal of Experimental Biology.[1]
