About the Cover

Cover Figure


Cover: This special issue discusses the biomechanics of swimming and flight, ranging from the flow patterns of larval fish (bottom image; see article by Müller et al., pp. 196−205) and the aerodynamics of insect flight (top image; see article by Aono et al., pp. 239−257) to the kinematics of fish fins and the performance of flapping bird wings. With sections dedicated to motor systems and general fluid dynamic approaches, we offer a snapshot of the current state of fluid locomotion research. Images courtesy of Hao Liu and Ulrike Müller.
