Using supercomputer simulations, researchers found that dolphins generate thrust primarily through large, powerful vortex rings created by their tail motion, while smaller vortices contribute little to propulsion. The findings clarify how turbulent flow drives efficient swimming and could inform the design of faster, more energy-efficient underwater robots. https://journals.aps.org/prfluids/accepted/10.1103/tnxb-ckr5
