Stimulation of latent enhanced propulsion in free-swimming jellyfish
Meeting Abstract 127-4 Monday, Jan. 7 10:45 – 11:00 Stimulation of latent enhanced propulsion in free-swimming jellyfish XU, NW*; DABIRI, JO; Stanford University; Stanford University nicolexu@stanford.edu http://web.stanford.edu/~nicolexu External control of freely swimming jellyfish can facilitate testing of hypotheses regarding the evolution of efficient locomotion. It also enables an approach to soft robotics that simultaneously addresses longstanding challenges […]
Space utilization and orientation of cydippid ctenophores in simple shear and turbulence
Meeting Abstract 127-3 Monday, Jan. 7 10:30 – 10:45 Space utilization and orientation of cydippid ctenophores in simple shear and turbulence BYRON, M.L.*; BAIL, J.D.; MCHENRY, M.J.; Penn State University; Penn State University; University of California Irvine mbyron@psu.edu http://sites.psu.edu/byronlab Most ctenophore species generate propulsion exclusively by the metachronal motion of rows of long ciliary plates (ctenes). These […]
