Meeting Abstract

83.5  Thursday, Jan. 7  A Care and Testing Facility for Squid Propulsion and Flow Visualization FURUYA, W.*; MOHSENI, K.; University of Colorado; University of Colorado mohseni@colorado.edu

This paper discusses the drafting process and trade studies that were used to design a care and testing facility to investigate the hydrodynamics of squid locomotion. This design process includes the selection of the squid species that would be used for the flow visualization, the living conditions of the squid, the tank design concepts, the filtration system design and configuration, the prey organisms, and the expected costs of each subdivision as well as the estimated overall cost of the project. The preliminary flow visualization on Sepioteuthis lessoniana is also presented.
