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…
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,…
