Ups and downs: Copepods reverse the near-body flow to cruise in the water column
Nils B. Tack, Sara Oliveira Santos, Brad J. Gemmell +1
Copepods participate in large-scale diel vertical migrations (DVM) as primary consumers in marine ecosystems. Given that they are negatively buoyant, gravity facilitates their down…
Pleobot: a modular robotic solution for metachronal swimming
Sara Oliveira Santos, Nils Tack, Yunxing Su +4
Metachronal locomotion is a widespread swimming mode used by aquatic swarming organisms to achieve performance and maneuverability in the intermediate Reynolds number regime. Our u…
Asymmetry of motion: vortex rings crossing a density gradient
Yunxing Su, Monica M. Wilhelmus, Roberto Zenit
Vortex rings are critical for thrust production underwater. In the ocean, self-propelled mesozooplankton generate vortices while swimming within a weakly stratified fluid. While la…
Bridging Gaps in the Climate Observation Network: A Physics-based Nonlinear Dynamical Interpolation of Lagrangian Ice Floe Measurements via Data-Driven Stochastic Models
Jeffrey Covington, Nan Chen, Monica M. Wilhelmus
Modeling and understanding sea ice dynamics in marginal ice zones relies on acquiring Lagrangian ice floe measurements. However, optical satellite images are susceptible to atmosph…
RoboKrill : a metachronal drag-based swimmer robot
Sara Oliveira Santos, Francisco Cuenca-Jiménez, P. Antonio Gomez-Valdez +2
Marine exploration is essential to understanding ocean processes and organisms. While the use of current unmanned underwater vehicles has enabled many discoveries, there are still…
Bubbles determine the amount of alcohol in Mezcal
G. Rage, O. Atasi, M. M. Wilhelmus +5
Mezcal is a traditional alcoholic Mexican spirit distilled from fermented agave juices that has been produced for centuries. Its preparation and testing involves an artisanal metho…
