![]() ![]() Kinetic methodologies and advanced computational codes have allowed to accurately reconstructing the living conditions of the depth sponges, highlighting their remarkable structural and fluid dynamic properties. The field was reconstructed using CINECA super-computers. Hydrodynamic field inside and outside the skeletal structure of the Euplectella aspergillum glass sponge. Aspergillum underlie the optimization of the flow physics within and beyond its body cavity. ![]() While past research has investigated the structure of the sponge, there have been few studies of the hydrodynamic fields surrounding and penetrating the organism, and whether, besides improving its mechanical properties, the skeletal motifs of E. However, insights into how the organism’s latticework of holes and ridges influences the hydrodynamics of seawater in its vicinity could lead to advanced designs for buildings, bridges, marine vehicles and aircraft, and anything that must respond safely to forces imposed by the flow of air or water. aspergillum) might seem fathoms removed from human-engineered structures. The remarkable structural properties of the basket sponge (E. Published in the journal Nature the first-ever simulation of the deep-sea Venus flower sponge and how it responds to and influences the flow of nearby water. ![]()
