A pressure-based force and torque prediction technique for the study of fish-like swimming.

Many outstanding questions about the evolution and function of fish morphology are linked to swimming dynamics, and a detailed knowledge of time-varying forces and torques along the animal's body is a key component in answering many of these questions. Yet, quantifying these forces and torques...
