Optimal specific wavelength for maximum thrust production in undulatory propulsion
What wavelengths do undulatory swimmers use during propulsion? In this work we find that a wide range of body/caudal fin (BCF) swimmers, from larval zebrafish and herring to fully–grown eels, use specific wavelength (ratio of wavelength to tail amplitude of undulation) values that fall within a rela...
