An Elastic Collision Model for Impulsive Jumping by Small Planktonic Organisms

An Elastic Collision Model for Impulsive Jumping by Small Planktonic Organisms

Many small marine planktonic organisms converge on similar propulsion mechanisms that involve impulsively generated viscous wake vortex rings, and small-scale fluid physics is key to mechanistically understanding the adaptive values of this important behavioral trait. Here, a theoretical fluid mecha...
