Performance of thunniform propulsion : a high bio-fidelity experimental study
Tunas, lamnid sharks and whales are some of the fastest sustained swimming animals. To propel themselves these animals use the thunniform propulsion mode, and are physically characterized by having streamlined bodies with narrow necking of the caudal peduncle and a high aspect ratio lunate tail gene...
