Hybrid metachronal rowing augments swimming speed and acceleration via increased stroke amplitude

M. P. Ford, W. J. Ray, E. M. DiLuca, S. N. Patek, A. Santhanakrishnan

This study compares pure and hybrid metachronal rowing strategies in aquatic invertebrates, finding that hybrid rowing increases swimming speed and acceleration by allowing larger stroke amplitudes without appendage collisions.

Closer appendage spacing augments metachronal swimming speed by promoting tip vortex interactions

M. P. Ford, A. Santhanakrishnan

This study investigates how appendage spacing affects metachronal swimming speed in aquatic invertebrates using a robotic model, finding that smaller spacing enhances speed through vortex interactions.
