Abstract
The present work is concerned with the study of the swimming of flagellated microscopic organisms, which employ a single flagellum for propulsion in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid. The flow is modeled by appropriate equations and the organism is modeled by an infinite flexible but inextensible transversely waving sheet, which represents approximately the flagellum. The governing equations subject to appropriate boundary conditions are solved analytically. Expressions for the velocity of propulsion of the microscopic organism are obtained.
