Ciliary vortex flows and oxygen dynamics in the coral boundary layer

The exchange of metabolites between environment and coral tissue depends on the flux across the diffusive boundary layer (DBL) surrounding the tissue. Cilia covering the coral tissue have been shown to create vortices that enhance mixing in the DBL in stagnant water. To study the role of cilia under...
