Model validation with Jeffery orbit of a rod-shaped bacteria: (a) Transient of the angular velocity at a = 3 and \(\dot{\gamma }=1000\,{{\rm{s}}}^{-1}\); (b) period of the orbit; (c) relative error between analytical and CFD-DEM results for the maximum and minimum of the angular velocity at each case.
