Abstract
The choice of title of this presentation comes from two papers that James Lighthill published in the issue of Journal of Engineering Mathematics commemorating H. A. Lorentz's famous 1896 paper on fluid mechanics [1]. This paper will discuss Lighthill's significant contribution to microbiologicalfluid mechanics, both through his own work and his postgraduate and postdoctoral students, of whichthis author is one! The paper introduces the wide range of interests that Lighthill had in biofluidβdynamics and then moves to concentrate on contributions to microbiological fluid mechanics. Thepresentation successively considers eukaryotic flagellar propulsion, prokaryotic flagellar propulsion, filter feeding and ciliary propulsion. In the Spirit of Lighthill, the paper concludes with a list of topicsof research in the area that have been identified for further study. Copyright Β© 2001 John Wiley &Sons, Ltd.
