چکیده

The spatial extent and temporal decay of copepod-generated hydrodynamic disturbances during cruise and escape behavior were examined using the particle image velocimetry technique combined with theoretical models. Our study compared results for two species in the genus Euchaeta: the larger E. elongata living in colder water of higher viscosity versus the smaller E. rimana living in warmer water of lower viscosity. We expected that body size and viscosity would work in opposite directions in shaping the spatial and temporal properties of the hydrodynamic disturbances generated by these two copepod species. We found that the spatial extent of the copepod-induced hydrodynamic signal in front of the copepods during cruising was equivalent, with the peak strength of the signal to preferred prey showing no significant difference. In contrast, the spatial extent and strength of the hydrodynamic disturbance during escape were larger for E. elongata, although the decay time of the flow disturbance to a threshold value was equivalent between the species. Importantly, the observation of vortex rings during escape for Euchaeta strongly supports the appropriateness of the impulsive stresslet model over the impulsive Stokeslet model. Moreover, our empirical data discount the validity of using a sphere in creeping flow to model copepod–fluid interactions. Rather, these results suggest a complicated interaction of fluid viscosity, body size, and swimming speed for the genus Euchaeta that partially explains the adaptations to the local environmental conditions.

Casson Fluid Flow with Variable Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity along Exponentially Stretching Sheet Embedded in a Thermally Stratified Medium with Exponentially Heat Generation

The motion of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity of steady incompressible laminar free convective (MHD) non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a thermally stratified medium are investigated. It is assumed that natural convection is induced by buoyancy and exponentially decaying internal heat generation across the space. The dim...

Entropy generation analysis of non-newtonian fluid in rotational flow

The entropy generation analysis of non-Newtonian fluid in rotational flow between two concentric cylinders is examined when the outer cylinder is fixed and the inner cylinder is revolved with a constant angular speed. The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid is considered at the same time interdependent on temperature and shear rate. The Nahme law and Carreau equation are used to modeling dependenc...

Effect of slip and variable thermal boundary conditions on hydromagnetic mixed convection flow and heat transfer from a non-linearly stretching ‎surface

The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

The explosive viscous liquid becomes inject to warhead by discharge system. The injection device is consisted of a piston to move down and leads the viscous fluid through the cylindrical pipe towards the end of the duct. Then the viscous fluid leads into a convergent path that will be injected to the warhead or other injection equipment. In this project, the path of viscous fluid flow is divide...
