Hydrodynamic analysis of bioinspired vortical cross-step filtration by computational modelling

Research on the suspension-feeding apparatus of fishes has led recently to the identification of novel filtration mechanisms involving vortices. Structures inside fish mouths form a series of ‘backward-facing steps' by protruding medially into the mouth cavity. In paddlefish and basking shark m...
