Froude propulsion efficiency of each model is calculated for the 10.5% volume exchange simulations shown before.
| Volume exchanged | Jellyfish | Geometric | Mechanics | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | P2 | P1 | P2 | ||
| 10.5% | 39.6% | 69.9% | 47.6% | 62.5% | 40.6% |
| 50.0% | 59.9% | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
The biological jellyfish model reaches the ~60% propulsion efficiency range of the P1 swimming mode at a volume exchange of ~50%.
