Suspension of a point-mass-loaded filament in non-uniform flows: Passive dynamics of a ballooning spider
Spiders utilize their fine silk fibers for their aerial dispersal, known as ballooning. With this method, spiders can disperse hundreds of kilometers, reaching as high as 4.5 km. However, the passive dynamics of a ballooning model (a highly flexible filament and a spider body at the end of it) are n...
