Swimming at intermediate Reynolds numbers in water boatmen

Meeting Abstract 113.2  Saturday, Jan. 7  Swimming at intermediate Reynolds numbers in water boatmen NGO, V.*; MCHENRY, M.J.; Univ. of California, Irvine; Univ. of California, Irvine vngo3@uci.edu A wide diversity of aquatic animals swim at intermediate Reynolds numbers, where both inertial or viscous forces may contribute to propulsion. Here we studied the relative importance of these forces […]
