Exploring the Biofluiddynamics of Swimming and Flightby David Lentink - Wageningen University
Many organisms move through water or air in order to survive and reproduce. It is useful to analyze fluid motion as a collection of vortices: vortices interact with the moving organism, interact with each other, and evolve independently in time.
