Abstract Torquigener albomaculosus, also known as the white-spotted pufferfish, is known for creating circular nests in the
underwater sand as part of the mating ritual. The nests are built by the males to attract females through the nest’s
impressive design and related ability to gather fine sand particles. As the fluid-dynamic processes associated with
these unique nests are still almost completely unknown, in the present study, an analysis has been conducted to
investigate how the geometric parameters related to the nest design influence the fluid velocity in its center. For
this reason, a geometric model of the nest consisting of 24… More >
