Preliminary database on Fish Hydrodynamics

Datasets originated by experiments aimed at identifying and quantifying complex interactions between fish and turbulent flows (bio-mechanical interactions) by:(i) detailing the flow structure around swimming fish in a controlled environment (near-head areas, boundary layers along the fish body, wakes behind fins and tails) (ii) providing a full depiction of fish behaviour in natural habitats that account for typical flow patterns (shallow mixing layers, wakes, jets) and waves (cushion waves, lateralpressure waves, hydraulic jumps). Datasets on fish-flow interactions will include species with distinctly different morphologies and behavioural patterns (e.g. trout, grayling, lamprey, and eels) and some poorly known small-sized migratory fish species.
