Flow associated with Lighthill's elongated-body theory
Christophe Eloy, Sébastien Michelin
The hydrodynamic forces acting on an undulating swimming fish consist of two components: a drag-based resistive force and a reactive force originating from the necessary accelerati…

Hydrodynamics of flow sensing in plankton
Christophe Eloy
Planktonic organisms, despite their passive drift in the ocean, exhibit complex responses to fluid flow, including escape behaviors and larval settlement detection. But what flow s…
