Biomimetic and Live Medusae Reveal the Mechanistic Advantages of a Flexible Bell Margin

Flexible bell margins are characteristic components of rowing medusan morphologies and are expected to contribute towards their high propulsive efficiency. However, the mechanistic basis of thrust augmentation by flexible propulsors remained unresolved, so the impact of bell margin flexibility on me...
