🐟 Fish School Hydrodynamics: Vortex Wakes, Phase Tuning and Swimming Energy Saving
A school of silver fish shed alternating tail vortices. Move the lattice, tune the tail-beat phase and see which fish save swimming energy in the wakes of their neighbours and which pay extra: a point-vortex wake model with a Strouhal-number tail beat.
