Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this note we calculate the effective drift velocities and the effective diffusivities of swimming microorganisms in an external flow field. It is shown that if the ambient velocity field is incompressible then the effects of reorientation of the cells can under certain circumstances enhance the effective drift velocity along the preferred direction.
