Burst-and-coast swimmers optimize gait by adapting unique intrinsic cycle
This paper addresses the physical mechanism of intermittent swimming by considering the burst-and-coast regime of fish swimming at different speeds. The burst-and-coast regime consists of a cycle with two successive phases: a phase of active undulation powered by the fish muscles followed by a passive gliding phase. Observations of real …
