Dataset for: Elastohydrodynamics of swimming helices: Effects of flexibility and confinement

This data contains information from simulations of swimming helical flagella in free space and confined in a tube. We have recorded the parameters used in the numerical simulations as well as the computed quantities: swimming speed, angular frequency, the flexural rigidity of the flagella, the non-dimensional sperm number, and the distance swam per revolution. We use this data to analyze how the swimming behavior of the flagella changes as we vary the driving torque and the flexibility of the flagella in free space and in confined tubes of varying radii.
