Extreme flow simulations reveal skeletal adaptations of deep-sea sponges (VIDEO)
Caption
Hydrodynamic field inside and outside the skeletal structure of the Euplectella aspergillum glass sponge. The field was reconstructed using CINECA super-computers. 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.
