Fishes suspended in water are subject to the complex nature of three-dimensional flows.
Often, these flows are the result of abiotic and biotic sources that alter otherwise uniform …

What mechanisms of flow control do animals use to enhance hydrodynamic performance?
Animals are capable of manipulating flow around the body and appendages both passively …

Understanding the fundamental relationships between physics and its information-
processing capability has been an active research topic for many years. Physical reservoir …

Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the
role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate …

Publisher Summary The chapter focuses on recent experimental hydrodynamic data on
undulatory locomotion in fishes, and provides a general description of the major theoretical …

The current understanding of the effects of turbulence on the swimming performance of fish
is primarily derived from laboratory experiments under pressurised flow swim tunnels and …

Fish adaption behaviors in complex environments are of great importance in improving the
performance of underwater vehicles. This work presents a numerical study of the adaption …

The ability to control the flow of water around the body dictates the performance of marine
mammals in the aquatic environment. Morphological specializations of marine mammals …

Effective fishway design requires extensive integration of biological and hydraulic data.
Many relevant biological parameters remain poorly characterized, however, and the lack of …
