🐬 Dolphin Swimming Power: Gray's Paradox, Boundary-Layer Drag and the Strouhal Tail Beat
A dolphin circles a track under the waves: set body size, muscle power, laminar or turbulent boundary layer and Strouhal number, and watch drag, required power, tail-beat rate and terminal speed update, then test Gray's paradox numerically.
