On the biogenic hydrodynamic transport of upward and downward cruising copepods
Yunxing Su, Rui Zhu, Eckart Meiburg +1
Mesozooplankton aggregations undergoing vertical migrations in the upper ocean have been hypothesized to have an important role in the redistribution of carbon, nutrients, and oxyg…
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…
An improved aerodynamic model for quasi-steady simulations of animal flight at moderate Reynolds numbers
Yunxing Su, Xiaozhou Fan, Kyohei Onoue +2
We report on experimental and numerical studies aimed at developing an improved paradigm to model animal flight at moderate Reynolds numbers (). A series of experimen…
Leading edge vortex formation and wake trajectory: Synthesizing measurements, analysis, and machine learning
Howon Lee, Nicholas Simone, Yunxing Su +4
The strength and trajectory of a leading edge vortex (LEV) formed by a pitching-heaving hydrofoil (chord ) is studied. The LEV is identified using the -criterion method, whic…
Viscoelastic levitation
Yunxing Su, Alfonso Castillo, On Shun Pak +2
The effects of viscoelasticity have been shown to manifest themselves via symmetry breaking. In this investigation, we show a novel phenomenon that arises from this idea. We observ…
Hydrodynamic interaction of a bubble pair in viscoelastic shear-thinning fluids
Mithun Ravisankar, Alam Garciduenas Correa, Yunxing Su +1
We experimentally investigate the interaction between a pair of bubbles ascending in a stagnant viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid. In particular, we focus on the effect of bubble s…
Wake-foil interactions and energy harvesting efficiency in tandem oscillating foils
Bernardo Luiz R. Ribeiro, Yunxing Su, Quentin Guillaumin +2
Oscillating foils in synchronized pitch/heave motions can be used to harvest hydrokinetic energy. By understanding the wake structure and its correlation with the foil kinematics,…
