Hydrodynamic performance of Ordovician archaeostracan carapaces. [PDF]
PLoS OneThe diversification of macroscopic pelagic arthropods such as caryocaridid archaeostracans was a crucial aspect of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, and the plankton revolution. A pelagic mode of life has been inferred for caryocaridids from their common presence in black graptolitic shales alongside carapace morphologies that appear ...

Miniature Underwater Glider Hydrodynamic Performance
OCEANS 2022, Hampton Roads, 2022 <p>Defining the hydrodynamic properties of an underwater glider is a critical operation that should be properly optimized since it has a great impact on the vehicle’s efficiency. It also defines the allocated budget for the Variable Buoyancy System (VBS) of the glider.

Aeration performance of hydrodynamic flow regulators
Water Science and Technology, 2013 Hydrodynamic flow regulators are used in environmental engineering as a replacement for traditional flow throttling devices. They are extremely efficient, reliable and free from the common disadvantages of traditional devices. Recent research by the authors indicated that the atomization of a liquid by hydrodynamic flow regulators accelerates ...
