...Vincent Stin; Ramiro Godoy-Diana; Xavier Bonnet; Anthony Herrel ABSTRACT We describe a method for measuring the 3D vortical structures produced by an anguilliform swimmer using volumetric velocimetry. The wake of freely swimming dice snakes ( Natrix tessellata ) was quantified, revealing...

... different virtual swimmers: a carangiform swimmer (i.e. a mackerel swimming like mackerel do in nature); an anguilliform swimmer (i.e. a lamprey swimming like lampreys do in nature); a hybrid swimmer with anguilliform kinematics but carangiform body shape (a mackerel swimming like a lamprey); and another...

...Iman Borazjani; Fotis Sotiropoulos SUMMARY We employ numerical simulation to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of anguilliform locomotion and compare it with that of carangiform swimming as the Reynolds number ( Re ) and the tail-beat frequency (Strouhal number, St ) are systematically...
