Peclet number for hydrodynamic flow of metabolites outside Volvox carteri

Range	100-300 unitless
Organism	Volvox carteri
Reference	Solari CA, Ganguly S, Kessler JO, Michod RE, Goldstein RE. Multicellularity and the functional interdependence of motility and molecular transport, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006 Jan 31 103(5):1353-8. p.1357 fig.8PubMed ID16421211
Method	particle imaging velocimetry. Value extracted from fig. 8
Comments	Flagella driven advection dominates transport of metabolites around volvox colony. Correlates with decreased growth of deflagellated colonies that can be rescued by artificially mixing media.
