Computational Assessment of the Fluid Flow around Coasting Mature Male Blue Sharks, Prionace glauca (L.)

Figure 9

The vorticity magnitude on the body surface of the shark dorsal fin section models (a)–(e). The -axis on the figure represents the -axis along the shark dorsal section models and the -axis shows the vorticity magnitude at every position on the shark at that particular value. In this way, the figure shows the maximum vorticity magnitude at each position along the shark body model, clearly illustrating the vorticity spike at the dorsal fin trailing edge in each specimen.
