Vibrissa inspired geometries enhance sensitivity of wake-induced vibrations
Eva Erickson, Eric E. Handy-Cardenas, Joel W. Newbolt +2
We report on experiments designed to characterize the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and wake-induced vibration (WIV) experienced by bluff bodies immersed in both steady and unstea…

Water surface swimming dynamics in lightweight centipedes
Kelimar Diaz, Baxi Chong, Steven Tarr +2
Study of the locomotion of a centipede (L. forficatus) at the air-water interface reveals that it does not predominantly use its 14 leg pairs to locomote; unlike most swimmers whic…
