Fast-swimming hydromedusae exploit velar kinematics to form an optimal vortex wake [PDF]
, 2006 Fast-swimming hydromedusan jellyfish possess a characteristic funnel-shaped velum at the exit of their oral cavity that interacts with the pulsed jets of water ejected during swimming motions.

Morphological diversity of medusan lineages constrained by animal–fluid interactions [PDF]
, 2007 Cnidarian medusae, commonly known as jellyfish, represent the earliest known animal taxa to achieve locomotion using muscle power. Propulsion by medusae requires the force of bell contraction to generate forward thrust.

Reynolds number limits for jet propulsion: A numerical study of simplified jellyfish [PDF]
, 2010 The Scallop Theorem states that reciprocal methods of locomotion, such as jet propulsion or paddling, will not work in Stokes flow (Reynolds number = 0).

Hydromedusae: Pandeidae, Tiarannidae [PDF]
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1955 The nematocysts of the three species of Leptomedusae, Aequorea forskalea, A. vitrina, and A. pensilis, and of the two siphonophores Agalma elegans and Velella velella are described.The specific characters of the three species of Aequorea are discussed and it is shown that A.

Kinematic comparison of bell contraction by four species of hydromedusae
Scientia Marina, 2000 Bell form strongly affects the hydrodynamic performance of swimming hydromedusae. Although the relationship between bell shape and hydrodynamic parameters has been documented for static models of different bell shapes, the dynamic differences in ...
