STEP 3: Draw on the balloon to make it look like a squid optional as the marker might come off in the tub. STEP 4: Parental supervision: Add a couple of inches of water to your tub, place the balloon in the tub and open the top of the dish soap top to watch the squid balloon move.
Record or discuss your observations. You may need to use a long, large, shallow, storage bin to really get a good idea of how this works in the classroom. An under the bed storage container should work just fine! Both the squid and the octopus use jet propulsion to move around in the ocean. They do this by using a siphon! A siphon refers to a way of carrying water from one area to another area through a tube. Both creatures have a siphon that acts as a funnel.
They take water into a hole in their body called the mantle and then get rid of it through this funnel to move! This may be the result of several factors. First, pulsed jet thrust derives from both jet momentum and over-pressure Krueger and Gharib To quantify dissipation, regression analyses of kinetic energy on time were performed.
Based on engineering studies involving pulsed mechanical jets from rigid tubes, there is a physical limit to the size of a vortex ring. This physical limit is known as the formation number F Gharib et al. Once this limit is reached, vortex rings stop forming midway through the pulse and the remainder of the fluid forms a jet of fluid that trails behind the vortex ring Gharib et al. At F , the thrust per pulse of a pulsed jet is maximized for a given expelled volume of water Krueger and Gharib , L was determined a little differently in mechanical studies than in the present squid study.
In mechanical studies, L was the distance a piston pushed a column of fluid in a tube before the fluid exited a nozzle, whereas in the present study, L was the jet length measured from the extent of the velocity field along the jet centerline.
Anderson and Grosenbaugh also found this to be the case in adult D. Although D. Do higher propulsive efficiencies translate to a lower cost of transport for paralarvae relative to larger life-history stages?
In fact, high-speed kinematic and DPIV data from the present study indicate that half the total paralarval impulse goes towards overcoming drag alone! Second, and perhaps most importantly, paralarvae are largely planktonic as opposed to nektonic as are the juveniles and adults. Paralarvae can certainly reach impressive speeds.
Thompson, unpublished data. However, paralarvae generally do not reach these speeds while swimming horizontally; they are predominantly vertical, positively phototaxic, negatively geotactic migrators that depend heavily on currents for horizontal displacement Fields ; Sidie and Holloway ; Zeidberg and Hamner Some paralarvae, such as those of L.
Older life-history stages are capable of translocating over large distances without the aid of horizontal currents and do not share a similar vertically oriented lifestyle. Because their ecologies are so disparate, comparisons of cost of transport between paralarvae and older life-history stages provide limited insight into the ontogeny of swimming performance.
A key morphological and ecological transition seems to occur at about 1. Vecchione, R. Hanlon, personal communication. This transition in mantle kinematics correlates well with a change in the organization of networks of mantle connective tissue fibers Thompson and Kier b but we do not know if it also occurs concurrently with changes in fin, funnel, or mantle mechanics. Jet mode I is of special significance because the vortex rings presumably occur near the physical limit of vortex-ring formation, i.
F -values as high as eight also have been observed in fast-swimming hydromedusan jellyfish Nemopsis bachei Dabiri et al. In experiments involving temporally variable mechanical jet generators, Dabiri and Gharib determined that jet diameter changes during the jet ejection phase can contribute to higher ejection efficiency, i.
Because the energetic cost of ejecting fluid in the form of an isolated vortex ring without a trailing jet is lower than that of a vortex ring with a trailing jet Krueger , squids employing jet mode I are operating close to the expected peak efficiency of pulsed fluid transport. Comparisons of propulsive efficiency of jet modes I and II are consistent with these findings and, in fact, provide the first evidence of this in a truly self-propelled setting.
Squids using jet mode II produce higher overall thrust per jet pulse but have lower propulsive efficiency lower impulse-to-energy-expended ratio Bartol et al. In fact, there were many sequences when L. Although efficiencies were calculated differently in the present study, Anderson's and Grosenbaugh's findings suggest that elongated jets can also have high propulsive efficiencies, just as shorter isolated vortex ring jets.
Selection of jet mode seems to correlate with fin activity, although additional jet and fin data are clearly needed to fully corroborate this.
When jet mode I was used most heavily, high fin activity was often observed, whereas when jet mode II was used most heavily high speeds , fin activity was generally low. This seems reasonable, given the discrepancy in magnitude of impulse between the two jet modes; jet mode I produces low thrust relative to jet mode II and thus augmentation by fin thrust may be required to maintain swimming speed. Augmentation by fin force is beneficial because fins produce thrust by imparting relatively small accelerations to relatively large masses of water and thus have high propulsive efficiency Alexander ; Lighthill Our data support this, with higher propulsive efficiency being detected for fins versus the jet.
Coupling jet mode I with high fin activity should lead to a high overall propulsive efficiency, which was also consistent with our limited dataset. In the present study, the highest combination of jet mode I and high fin activity occurred at speeds between 0.
Juvenile and adult L. Consequently, it is not surprising that a multitude of fin wake patterns were observed. The two most prominent patterns for tail-first swimming involved well-defined, consistent vortex structures; in fin mode I a coherent vortex ring was shed with each half stroke, while in fin mode II , the upstroke and downstroke vortex rings were seemingly linked in a more complex vortex structure. In fin mode II , the downstroke's leading-edge vortex served as the subsequent upstroke's trailing-edge vortex, which could potentially accelerate upstroke vortex development and augment circulation, as is the case for insect wings Birch and Dickinson This augmentation of circulation could lead to enhanced production of force.
A number of factors make estimating propulsive efficiency in squids throughout ontogeny challenging. First, as mentioned previously, paralarvae have a very different ecology than do juveniles and adults and reside in an intermediate Re regime with unique fluid constraints. Because paralarvae swim predominantly along a vertical axis, paralarval displacement over a full jet cycle is strongly dependent on the refill duration and concomitant sinking, which can be highly variable.
To account for this, only propulsive efficiency during the exhalant jet phase was considered. The relatively higher viscosity environment of paralarvae will dissipate jet kinetic energy rapidly, which will contribute to artificially high values of propulsive efficiency when impulse and kinetic energy are used in calculations. Within this intermediate Re regime, paralarvae experience higher relative viscous drag than do juveniles and adults, and these high drag terms can have a significant impact on calculations of propulsive efficiency by modifying the relationship between thrust and displacement which were approximated as essentially independent in this study.
The refill phase has not been considered directly in the present analyses. Refill is an important consideration for analyses based on measurements of momentum where thrust is determined as the rate at which the inlet momentum is changed at the outlet. For pulsatile jets, an analysis of momentum is further complicated by the influence of unsteady pressure effects i.
In the present study, these issues were avoided by using a vorticity-based approach. Specifically, the hydrodynamic impulse in equation 1 is computed from the vorticity field and is equal to the impulse integral of force in time required to generate the flow Lamb ; Saffman It follows that the force required to generate the flow is equal to the rate at which hydrodynamic impulse is added to the flow, which is in turn related to the rate at which vorticity is added to the flow through equation 1.
The equality between force and rate of addition of hydrodynamic impulse holds for both steady and unsteady flows. In the present study, the upstream flow was non-vortical, so only downstream vorticity was relevant for computing thrust. In the case of the jet, only the jet vorticity was related to the thrust generated by jetting and the refill process did not need to be explicitly included.
The role of the fins and their interaction with the jet adds another layer of complexity to calculations of propulsive efficiency.
Although the fins have been largely overlooked in some previous locomotive studies of squids Johnson et al. Like the jet, the fins produce multiple wake modes, but the effects of these various fin modes on propulsive efficiency are not well understood. Quantifying the synergistic effects of the jet and fins of squid is no trivial undertaking. Conventional planar, stereo, and even scanning DPIV lack sufficient spatial resolution to simultaneously visualize and quantify the complex vortex-wake flows around the fins and jet.
As stressed by Lauder and Tytell , these approaches to the quantification of flow should be coupled with high-speed, high-resolution videography for accurate measurements of kinematics. The technical challenges of applying these approaches are certainly significant, but this research holds much promise for understanding swimming performance in a very unique, highly flexible, dual-mode locomotive system.

Swimming dynamics and propulsive efficiency of squids throughout ontogeny. Bartol , Ian K. Bartol 1. Oxford Academic. Paul S. Joseph T. William J. Cite Cite Ian K. Select Format Select format. Te Papa is open.
Nobody has ever seen a live colossal squid swimming so this is a difficult question to answer. The scientists had to look at how other closely related squid swim and come up with a theory about how the colossal squid moves. Colossal squid are part of the Cranchiidae family, known as the glass squids. There are many videos of squid species swimming, including the glass squids. Cranchiids or glass squids have a very different outward appearance, or morphology, to most squid.
