摘要
Understanding how fishes generate external fluid force to swim steadily and maneuver has proven to be difficult because water does not provide a stable platform for force measurement. But new methods in experimental fluid mechanics provide insights into the physiological mechanisms of aquatic force generation and limits to locomotor performance.
