Construction of antennal models and boundary conditions. (a–d) The different scale arrangements of Heliozelidae moth antennae: (a) parallel to flagellum (Par), (b) complete rings (Com), (c) missing scales intermittently in every two rings (Int) or (d) missing a row of scales (Mis), scale bar 50 µm. (e) Dimensions of the antennal model of Int antenna with the diameter of 60 µm, green and red indicates different rings of scales. (f) Computer model boundary conditions. (g) Airflow speed and flow-field pattern of antenna with Par scale arrangement. (h) Airflow speed and flow-field pattern of antenna with Com scale arrangement: the flow field is disturbed and slowed down by the scales.
