Fluctuating hydrodynamic forces increase fish locomotor variability in turbulence
Turbulence has been shown to alter fish locomotion and increase the energetic cost of swimming, yet the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. To address this, we studied giant danios (Devario aequipinnatus) swimming at multiple speeds in both laminar and turbulent flows. Within this turbulent regime, mean tail-beat kinematics were largely unchanged relative to laminar conditions,…
