Abstract

The broader area of bio-fluid dynamics includes a wide array of applications from very diverse fields. The study of animal locomotion (i.e. swimming, flying) is probably one of the areas where eddy resolving approaches such as direct numerical simulations (DNS) and large-eddy simulations (LES) can have a major impact.
