64. The torque is not zero, however, it is a simplified model of a flagellum of externally flagellated microorganisms, the torque required for rotation is provided by the ATP-powered machinery within the cell body; the interaction with the cell body is neglected for simplicity.
65. However, the individual force densities f and f do not reduce to their corresponding Stokesian limiting values (4πμE and 2πμE, respectively) due to the fact that the limit aα→0 is singular and requires special attention.
