چکیده
within a larger vortex ring, which includes centres (1) and (3). Counter-rotating centres in the dorsal vortex ring produce jet A; a second jet B develops later as a result of flow induced by the ventral tip vortex. Jets A and B are directed on average at 35° to the freestream flow, before combining to produce a single broad jet C. Initially, little downstream flow is seen between same-sign vorticity centres (2) and (3) (Fig. 1a). Velocity transects though the centres of vorticity confirm the presence of a small dorsal vortex ring linked to a larger vortex ring that has a diameter equivalent to the tail height (Fig. 1b,c). Circulation calculations show that mean vortexcentre (1) circulation (0.0160 m s ) is not significantly different from the sum of negative circulation in vortex centres (2) and (3) ( 0.0019 and 0.0165, which is 0.0184 m s 1 in total; paired t-test, P 0.3), as required by Kelvin’s law. These findings contrast with the single vortex rings generated by the symmetrical tail of the bony fishes. A strong posteroventrally directed jet flow is visible as a result of sharktail motion (Fig. 1a,c), corroborating one classical model of shark-tail function. We propose that the mechanism for generating the ring-within-a-ring vortex structure in swimming dogfish is similar Biomechanics

متن کاملAgile Modeling: A Brief Overview
Agile Modeling (AM) is a practice-based methodology for effective modeling of software-based systems. Where the Unified Modeling Language (UML) defines a subset of the modeling techniques that software professionals require, AM defines practices that enables developers to model in an efficient and effective manner. This paper provides a brief overview of AM’s values, principles, and practices; ...
متن کاملChanging dietary behaviour: the role and development of practitioner communication.
The need to support people to change diet-related behaviour is widely advocated and how to do this effectively in practice is an expanding area of research. Important factors to consider are how healthcare practitioners communicate with their patients and how that communication may affect diet-related behaviour change and subsequent outcomes. The aim of the present paper is to discuss communica...
