... and stopping vortices are consistent with predictions of computational fluid dynamic models of the rowing oblate medusa Aequorea victoria ( Sahin et al., 2009 ). In C. mosaicus it is apparent that the flexible bell margin plays a role in the modulation of the fluid movements that results in thrust, via...

We first used digital particle image velocimetry to quantify the fluid dynamics of flow over a variety of substrates. We then visualized the patterns...

...Jifeng Peng; John O. Dabiri SUMMARY The fluid dynamic analysis of animal wakes is becoming increasingly popular in studies of animal swimming and flying, due in part to the development of quantitative flow visualization techniques such as digital particle imaging velocimetry (DPIV). In most studies...
