How fish power swimming: a 3D computational fluid dynamics study
Tingyu Ming, Bowen Jin, Jialei Song +3
In undulatory swimming of fish, muscles contract sequentially along the body to generate a bending wave that pushes against the water and produces thrust. Here, we use a 3D computa…

Propulsion via flexible flapping in granular media
Zhiwei Peng, Yang Ding, Kyle Pietrzyk +2
Biological locomotion in nature is often achieved by the interaction between a flexible body and its surrounding medium. The interaction of a flexible body with granular media is l…

Sand swimming lizard: sandfish
Ryan D. Maladen, Yang Ding, Adam Kamor +1
We use high-speed x-ray imaging to reveal how a small (~10cm) desert dwelling lizard, the sandfish (Scincus scincus), swims within a granular medium [1]. On the surface, the lizard…
