Numerical simulation of vortex ring formation in the presence of background flow with implications for squid propulsion
The results of a recent study have suggested that the long, continuous jet used by a steadily swimming adult squid maximizes its thrust generation for a given amount of energy expended in creating the jet flow. A highly adapted squid body shape may also contribute to a gain in the net-impulse to ene...

Summary: | The results of a recent study have suggested that the long, continuous jet used by a steadily swimming adult squid maximizes its thrust generation for a given amount of energy expended in creating the jet flow. A highly adapted squid body shape may also contribute to a gain in the net-impulse to energy ratio .1. |
