Our article entitled “Delta wing design in earliest nektonic vertebrates“, provides evidence that leading-edge vortices could be exploited by earliest vertebrates to colonize the water column more than 400 Mya.
We used 3D printed models to conduct experiments involving digital particle image velocimetry and force measurements in a water channel. #FluidDynamics #PaleoBiology #EarliestVertebrates.
