Undulating Seal Whiskers Evolved Optimal Wavelength‐to‐Diameter Ratio for Efficient Reduction in Vortex‐Induced Vibrations (Adv. Sci. 2/2024)
Source abstract
Abstract
Biomimetics Phocid seal whiskers possess a unique undulating geometry that reduces vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) and helps the seal track its prey. In article number 2304304, Amar M. Kamat, Ajay Giri Prakash Kottapalli, and co-workers study the form-function relationships in harbour and grey seal whiskers. The results indicate that the wavelength-to-mean diameter ratio (λ/Dm) of the undulating whiskers may evolve to possess an optimal value of 4.5 to minimize VIV.
