Understanding Low-Speed Streaks and Their Function and Control through Movable Shark Scales Acting as a Passive Separation Control Mechanism
The passive bristling mechanism of the scales on the shortfin mako shark (<i>Isurus oxyrinchus</i>) is hypothesized to play a crucial role in controlling flow separation. In the hypothesized mechanism, the scales are triggered in response to patches of reversed flow at the onset of separ...
