A model for coordinated motion of cilia is examined in this work. In this model, wave dynamics of cilia are represented by motions of microspheres elastically bound to circular orbits that are inclined with respect to a no-slip surface. Parameters are explored with analytical studies and simulations. The authors demonstrate traveling waves whose dynamics and direction may be tuned by the elasticity.
