Comprehensive Review of Suction Feeding Mechanics in Largemouth Bass using PIV and DUS Technologies

This document explores the principles and technologies used in suction feeding among Largemouth Bass. Utilizing Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Digital Ultrasonic Sensors (DUS), we analyze external and internal flow measurements vital to understanding the energy-efficient feeding method of these fish. The feasibility of integrating advanced motion sensors, custom glasswork, and software for data analysis is discussed. Moreover, we assess potential challenges faced by engineering teams specializing in mechanical design, seeking insights into overlooked functions and innovative solutions for effective implementation.

Presentation Transcript

  1. P.I.V and D.U.S. of Suction Feeding in Largemouth BassBackground Information and Voice of the Engineer Allan Andranikian

  2. Technology Review (P.I.V) • Requires clear field of view. • In this case, can only measure external flows.

  3. Technology Review (D.U.S) • Can make non-intrusive internal flow measurements

  4. Why Suction Feeding? • Most common method of feeding in fish, and if broken down species by species, in the world. ‘ • Energy efficient. • Interesting naturally occurring fluid dynamics phenomenon. • Difficult to describe numerically.

  5. V.O.C. Overview

  6. Functional Decomposition

  7. Metrics and Specifications

  8. Constraints

  9. House of Quality

  10. Concept Generation

  11. Feasibility Analysis • The use of all P.I.V and D.U.S equipment is well documented, with easy to access (or soon to be) tutorials. • Budget is soon to be determined. • Integration of motion sensors and target tracking devices my require an EE. • Software for previously mentioned equipment and data stitching may require a CE or SE. • Custom Glass-work from Corning Glass Blowers is relatively cheap. • Overall: Project is feasible, although may present some difficulty for a group comprised of only ME’s.

  12. Questions for you. • Are there any functions that should have been addressed that may not have been? • Can you think of any solutions that I may have overlooked for the functions mentioned in my concept generation matrix?

  13. Questions for me?
