Vortex motion in the ocean: In situ visualization of jellyfish swimming and feeding flows

Creators: Dabiri, John O.; Gharib, Morteza; Colin, Sean P.; Costello, John H.

Abstract

We present a combination of both qualitative flow visualizations of jellyfish in their natural marine environment and quantitative measurements in a laboratory facility, to understand how the animals effectively use principles of fluid mechanics in their swimming and feeding behaviors.
