About
Milad Samaee is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of fluid dynamics and biological propulsion, with a particular focus on the hydrodynamics of metachronal paddling—the coordinated, wave-like limb motion used by small aquatic organisms like krill. His most-cited paper, "Hydrodynamics of metachronal paddling: effects of varying Reynolds number and phase lag" (2019, 43 citations), provides critical insights into how negatively buoyant crustaceans generate downward momentum to maintain their position in the water column. By systematically analyzing the effects of Reynolds number and phase lag, Samaee reveals the physical principles behind the drag-based propulsion strategy employed by these animals, where closely spaced swimming limbs oscillate rhythmically from tail to head. This work not only deepens our understanding of biological locomotion but also has implications for the design of bio-inspired underwater vehicles. Samaee’s research bridges experimental and computational approaches, offering a quantitative framework that has been widely cited by peers studying aquatic locomotion and fluid-structure interactions. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the mechanics of swimming at intermediate Reynolds numbers, where viscous and inertial forces both play significant roles.
