Summary
Aquatic and terrestrial animals, from single-celled organisms to human beings, enhance their survival by sending, receiving, and interpreting chemical cues (odors) within their fluid environment. Chemical perception – olfaction – enables communication between individuals, mating, predation, foraging, and migration among other vital tasks. Because these critical functions are carried out within a fluid media (i.e., air or water), the process of olfaction is intrinsically linked to environmental fluid mechanics. This work leverages a combined numerical and experimental fluid mechanics approach to offer insight into odor sampling, characterization, and navigation in an odor environment.
