Figure 7.
Dynamics of (near-)cyclic swimming for same dataset as figure 6. (a) Amplitude of torque peaks (mean per event, colour code: age 2–5 dpf) over mean swimming speed (). (b) As (a), but non-dimensionalized. (c) Amplitude of torque peaks against Reynolds number (Re). (d) As (c) but non-dimensionalized. (e) Peak-to-peak amplitude of body angle (mean per event) against
. (f) Idem, but against dimensionless swimming speed. Second-order polynomial curve fits are shown for (a)–(f). (g) St against Re, with a fit of a (negative) power function plus a constant. (h) Re against swimming number Sw (logarithmic scales). The curve fit follows from the fit of St against Re, by using St = Sw/Re. Parameter values for each curve fit are given in electronic supplementary material, table S3.
