Mathematical description of the stimuli to the lateral line system of fish derived from a three-dimensional flow field analysis

The three-dimensional potential flow field around a moving fish with an axially symmetric body is investigated mathematically. The case of a moving fish in open water and that of one approaching a plane surface in front of it are considered. For these cases the spatial and temporal distributions of the stimuli to the lateral line system are derived from the flow field analysis. This is done in dependence on the shape and the size of the fish.
