In the aquatic world jet propulsion is a highly successful locomotion method utilized by a
variety of species. Among them cephalopods such as squids excel in their ability for high …

Over the past few years, the research community has witnessed a burgeoning interest in
biomimetics, particularly within the marine sector. The study of biomimicry as a revolutionary …

Many fishes employ distinct swimming modes for routine swimming and predator escape.
These steady and escape swimming modes are characterized by dramatically differing body …

Planktonic organisms feed while suspended in water using various hydrodynamic pumping
strategies. Appendicularians are a unique group of plankton that use their tail to pump water …

Cuttlefish swim using jet propulsion, taking a small volume of fluid into the mantle cavity
before it is expelled through the siphon to generate thrust. Jet propulsion swimming has …

Helical motion is prevalent in nature and has been shown to confer stability and efficiency in
microorganisms. However, the mechanics of helical locomotion in larger organisms (> 1 …

From microscopic fungi to colossal whales, fluid ejections are universal and intricate
phenomena in biology, serving vital functions such as animal excretion, venom spraying …

Squids maneuver to capture prey, elude predators, navigate complex habitats and deny
rivals access to mates. Despite the ecological importance of this essential locomotive …

Both the biomimetic design based on marine life and the origami-based design are
recommended as valuable paths for solving conceptual and design problems. The insights …

We numerically investigate the dynamics of a self-propelled system that swims by using
intermittent jet propulsion through cyclic body deformations. Unlike existing studies, the …
