Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that have the ability to swim by quick powerful jumps. Such an aptness is used to escape from high shear regions, which may be caused either by flow perturbations, produced by a large predator (i.e., fish larvae), or by the inherent highly turbulent dynamics of the ocean. Through a combined experimental and numerical study, we investigate the impact of jumping behavior on the small-scale patchiness of copepods in a turbulent environment. Recorded… Expand

Copepods encounter rates from a model of escape jump behaviour in turbulence
TLDR
This study investigates the encounter rates of copepods of the same species in a developed turbulent flow with intensities comparable to those encountered in their natural habitat by means of a Lagrangian copepod (LC) model that mimics the jump escape reaction behaviour from localized high-deformation rate fluctuations in the turbulent flows.

Mechanical modelling of marine planktonic copepod dynamics in fluid flows
Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that display a motility characterised by quiescient phases alternated by regimes of fast displacements, dubbed jumps, produced by powerful swimming strokes.… Expand
Numerical Simulations of Flow around Copepods: Challenges and Future Directions
Copepods are small aquatic creatures which are abundant in oceans as a major food source for fish, thereby playing a vital role in marine ecology. Because of their role in the food chain, copepods… Expand
Zooplankton can actively adjust their motility to turbulent flow
TLDR
The study reveals an active adaptation that carries strong fitness advantages and provides a realistic model of plankton motion in turbulence that shows excellent quantitative agreement with the authors' measurements when turbulence is significant. Expand

The perception of hydrodynamic signals by self-propelled objects is a problem of paramount importance ranging from the field of bio-medical engineering to bio-inspired intelligent navigation. By… Expand
Eulerian-Lagrangian fluid dynamics platform: The ch4-project
TLDR
Ch4-project is a developing computational fluid dynamics code that is used for the investigation of a range of different turbulent flows and a variety of Lagrangian phenomena, such as particles’ transport, mixing and clustering. Expand
Mean shear versus orientation isotropy: effects on inertialess spheroids’ rotation mode in wall turbulence
The orientation of spheroidal particles dispersed in a fluid flow is known to influence the particles’ rotation mode. Rod-like and disk-like particles orient themselves differently and accordingly… Expand
Preferential Sampling of Elastic Chains in Turbulent Flows.
TLDR
A string of tracers interacting elastically in a turbulent flow is shown to have a dramatically different behavior when compared to the noninteracting case, and the effect of modifying the deformability of the chain via the number of links that form it is also examined. Expand
Evidence for ubiquitous preferential particle orientation in representative oceanic shear flows
TLDR
Clear evidence of preferential alignment of particles was seen at all sampling stations, where the orientation probability density function (PDF) peaked at near horizontal angles and coincided with regions of low velocity shear and weak turbulent dissipation rates. Expand

Characterization of intermittency in zooplankton behaviour in turbulence
TLDR
Intermittency in swimming behaviour and relocation jumps may enable copepods to display oriented, collective motion under strong hydrodynamic conditions and thus, may contribute to the formation of zooplankton patches in energetic environments. Expand
Turbulence triggers vigorous swimming but hinders motion strategy in planktonic copepods
TLDR
It is demonstrated that swimming contributes substantially to the dynamics of copepods even when turbulence is significant, and the broadly accepted mate-searching strategies based on trajectory complexity and movement patterns are inefficient in energetic environments. Expand
The fluid dynamics of swimming by jumping in copepods
TLDR
It is shown that jump-swimming produces a hydrodynamic disturbance with much smaller spatial extension and shorter temporal duration than that produced by a same-size copepod cruising steadily at the same average translating velocity, which means that small copepods in jump- Swimming are in general much less detectable by rheotactic predators.

Quantifying copepod kinematics in a laboratory turbulence apparatus
TLDR
The results suggest that these copepods could control their position and movements at low turbulence intensity, and several trends support a dome-shaped variation of copepod kinematics with increasing turbulence. Expand
Unsteady motion: escape jumps in planktonic copepods, their kinematics and energetics
TLDR
The kinematics of escape jumps in three species of 0.3–3.0 mm-sized planktonic copepods are described, suggesting that copepod are optimally designed for rapid escape jumps and the Strouhal number is in the range of peak propulsion efficiency. Expand

Understanding the micromechanics of small-scale biological-physical-chemical interactions gives insight into factors influencing large-scale dynamics of copepod distribution, patchiness, and encounter probabilities in the sea. Expand
