Exploring vortex enhancement and manipulation mechanisms in jellyfish that contributes to energetically efficient propulsion

The ability of animals to propel themselves efficiently through a fluid medium is ecologically advantageous. Flexible components that influence vortex interactions are widespread among animal propulsors. However the mechanisms by which vortices are enhanced and appropriately positioned for thrust ge...
