Hydrodynamic performance of psammosteids: New insights from computational fluid dynamics simulations

The shape of dermal armor protecting the body in the Paleozoic agnathans such as the Heterostaci has an important hydrodynamic role in providing lift or drag force generation. Here, by performing computational fluid dynamics simulations (CFD), the measurements of hydrodynamic lift/drag force and lif...
