Advances in the Visualization and Analysis of Boundary Layer Flow in Swimming Fish

Abstract

In biology, the importance of fluid drag, diffusion, and heat transfer both internally and eternally, suggest the boundary layer as an important subject of the investigation the complexities of biological systems present significant and unique challenges to analysis by experimental fluid dynamics.
