Fig. 10 in Mode of life and hydrostatic stability of orthoconic ectocochleate cephalopods: Hydrodynamic analyses of restoring moments from 3D printed, neutrally buoyant models

Fig. 10. Hydrodynamic restoration of the Baculites compressus 3D printed model following overdamped harmonic motion. Apertural angle (θa) measured in degrees as a function of time after rotating approximately 38° from the equilibrium orientation. An angle of -90° represents a condition where the aperture is directed downwards. The function of decay in θa with time is represented by the grey dashed curve. Note that this model restores more quickly and does not oscillate about the equilibrium orientation.

Fig. 7. Virtual and physical hydrostatic models of Nautilus pompilius with computed percentage of the phragmocone emptied for neutral buoyancy (Φ) and hydrostatic stability (St). The tip of the up-side-down pyramid = center of buoyancy. The tip of the right-side-up pyramid = total center of mass. A. External view of the virtual model. B. Medial section of the virtual model with each component of unique density (green, soft body; red, cameral gas; blue, cameral liquid; grey, shell). C. Modified virtual model with simplified internal geometry and bismuth counterweight (yellow, PLA plastic; red, air; blue, liquid; purple, bismuth counterweight). D. Neutrally-buoyant, 3D printed model. The differences in Φ and the apertural angle (θa) are a result of the mass discrepancy (Table 5) and irregular geometry of the balloon. The error in St was computed assuming that the total mass discrepancy was distributed in the positive or negative z-directions.

Virtual model with an even distribution of cameral liquid and gas in the phragmocone (center of mass of cameral liquid and gas = center of volume of the phragmocone; cameral liquid and gas not shown). B. Modified virtual model with simplified internal geometry ("Modified 1" in Table 3). C. Neutrally-buoyant, 3D printed model. D. Modified virtual model with simplified internal geometry and axel hole through pivot point of rotation ("Modified 2" in Table 3). E.

For this model, the mass discrepancy (Table 5) resulted in a slightly lower of 97.3%, but was held constant at 100%. All computed errors in St were computed assuming that the total mass discrepancy was distributed in the positive or negative z-directions.

(2019: fig. 2.5). B. Modified virtual model with simplified internal geometry. The center of buoyancy remains the same because external geometry does not change. The total center of mass, however, is corrected by a bismuth counterweight of known volume, density, and mass. C. 3D printed posterior half of the physical model with bismuth counterweight in the computed position. D. Anterior half of the physical model showing the one-way valve for liquid to exit upon displacement by an air-filled balloon. E.

Tracking points are placed parallel to the aperture in order to analyze movement in a hydrodynamic setting.

Average peak thrust (Fpeak) error bars represent one standard deviation calibrated from 30 second intervals of pumping.
