Fin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected fromFins)
For other uses, seeFin (disambiguation).
Fins typically function asfoilsthat provide lift or thrust, or provide the ability to steer or stabilize motion in water or air.

Afinis a thin component or appendage attached to a larger body or structure.[1]Fins typically function asfoilsthat produceliftorthrust,or provide the ability to steer or stabilize motion while traveling in water, air, or otherfluids.Fins are also used toincrease surface areas for heat transfer purposes,or simply as ornamentation.[2][3]

Fins first evolved onfishas a means of locomotion.Fish finsare used to generatethrustand control the subsequent motion. Fish and other aquatic animals, such ascetaceans,actively propel and steer themselves withpectoralandtail fins.As they swim, they use other fins, such asdorsalandanal fins,to achieve stability and refine their maneuvering.[4][5]

The fins on the tails of cetaceans,ichthyosaurs,metriorhynchids,mosasaursandplesiosaursare calledflukes.

Thrust generation

[edit]

Foil shaped fins generatethrustwhen moved, the lift of the fin sets water or air in motion and pushes the fin in the opposite direction. Aquatic animals get significantthrustby moving fins back and forth in water. Often thetail finis used, but some aquatic animals generate thrust frompectoral fins.[4]Fins can also generate thrust if they are rotated in air or water.Turbinesandpropellers(and sometimesfansandpumps) use a number of rotating fins, also called foils, wings, arms or blades. Propellers use the fins to translate torquing force to lateral thrust, thus propelling an aircraft or ship.[6]Turbines work in reverse, using the lift of the blades to generate torque and power from moving gases or water.[7]

Moving fins can provide thrust
Fish get thrust moving vertical tail fins from side to side.
Cetaceansget thrust moving horizontal tail fins up and down.
Stingrays get thrust from large pectoral fins.

Finletsmay influence the way avortexdevelops around the tail fin.

Cavitationcan be a problem with high power applications, resulting in damage to propellers or turbines, as well as noise and loss of power.[8]Cavitation occurs when negative pressure causes bubbles (cavities) to form in a liquid, which then promptly and violently collapse. It can cause significant damage and wear.[8]Cavitation damage can also occur to the tail fins of powerful swimming marine animals, such as dolphins and tuna. Cavitation is more likely to occur near the surface of the ocean, where the ambient water pressure is relatively low. Even if they have the power to swim faster, dolphins may have to restrict their speed because collapsing cavitation bubbles on their tail are too painful.[9]Cavitation also slows tuna, but for a different reason. Unlike dolphins, these fish do not feel the bubbles, because they have bony fins without nerve endings. Nevertheless, they cannot swim faster because the cavitation bubbles create a vapor film around their fins that limits their speed. Lesions have been found on tuna that are consistent with cavitation damage.[9]

Scombridfishes (tuna, mackerel and bonito) are particularly high-performance swimmers. Along the margin at the rear of their bodies is a line of small rayless, non-retractable fins, known asfinlets.There has been much speculation about the function of these finlets. Research done in 2000 and 2001 by Nauen and Lauder indicated that "the finlets have a hydrodynamic effect on local flow during steady swimming" and that "the most posterior finlet is oriented to redirect flow into the developing tail vortex, which may increase thrust produced by the tail of swimming mackerel".[10][11][12]

Fish use multiple fins, so it is possible that a given fin can have a hydrodynamic interaction with another fin. In particular, the fins immediately upstream of the caudal (tail) fin may be proximate fins that can directly affect the flow dynamics at the caudal fin. In 2011, researchers usingvolumetric imagingtechniques were able to generate "the first instantaneous three-dimensional views of wake structures as they are produced by freely swimming fishes". They found that "continuous tail beats resulted in the formation of a linked chain of vortex rings" and that "the dorsal and anal fin wakes are rapidly entrained by the caudal fin wake, approximately within the timeframe of a subsequent tail beat".[13]

Motion control

[edit]
Fins are used by aquatic animals, such as thisorca,to generate thrust and control the subsequent motion.[14][15]

Once motion has been established, the motion itself can be controlled with the use of other fins.[4][16][17]Boats control direction (yaw) with fin-like rudders, and roll with stabilizer and keel fins.[16]Airplanes achieve similar results with small specialised fins that change the shape of their wings and tail fins.[17]

Specialised fins are used to control motion
Fish, boats and airplanes need control of three degrees ofrotational freedom.[18][19][20]
The dorsal fin of a white shark containdermalfibers that work "like riggings that stabilize a ship's mast", and stiffen dynamically as the shark swims faster to control roll and yaw.[21]

Temperature regulation

[edit]

Engineering fins are also used asheat transfer finsto regulate temperature inheat sinksorfin radiators.[26][27]

Fins can regulate temperature
Motorbikesuse fins tocoolthe engine.[28]
Oil heatersconvect with fins
Sailfishraise theirdorsal finto cool down or to herdschooling fish.[29][30]

Ornamentation and other uses

[edit]

In biology, fins can have an adaptive significance as sexual ornaments. During courtship, the femalecichlid,Pelvicachromis taeniatus,displays a large and visually arresting purplepelvic fin."The researchers found that males clearly preferred females with a larger pelvic fin and that pelvic fins grew in a more disproportionate way than other fins on female fish."[31][32]

Car tail finsin the 1950s were largely decorative.[34]

Reshaping human feet withswim fins,rather like the tail fin of a fish, add thrust and efficiency to the kicks of aswimmerorunderwater diver[35][36]Surfboard finsprovidesurferswith means to maneuver and control their boards. Contemporary surfboards often have a centre fin and twocamberedside fins.[37]

The bodies ofreef fishesare often shaped differently fromopen water fishes.Open water fishes are usually built for speed, streamlined like torpedoes to minimise friction as they move through the water. Reef fish operate in the relatively confined spaces and complex underwater landscapes ofcoral reefs.For this manoeuvrability is more important than straight line speed, so coral reef fish have developed bodies which optimize their ability to dart and change direction. They outwit predators by dodging into fissures in the reef or playing hide and seek around coral heads.[38]

The pectoral and pelvic fins of many reef fish, such asbutterflyfish,damselfishandangelfish,have evolved so they can act as brakes and allow complex maneuvers.[39]Many reef fish, such asbutterflyfish,damselfishandangelfish,have evolved bodies which are deep and laterally compressed like a pancake, and will fit into fissures in rocks. Their pelvic and pectoral fins are designed differently, so they act together with the flattened body to optimise maneuverability.[38]Some fishes, such aspuffer fish,filefishandtrunkfish,rely on pectoral fins for swimming and hardly use tail fins at all.[39]

Other uses

Surfboard finsallow surfers to maneuver their boards.
In some Asian countries shark fins are aculinary delicacy.[40]
In recent years, car fins have evolved into highly functionalspoilersandwings.[41]
Manyreef fishhave pectoral and pelvic fins optimised for flattened bodies.[38]
Frog fishuse their pectoral and pelvic fins to walk along the ocean bottom.[42]
Flying fishuse enlarged pectoral fins to glide above the surface of the water.[43]

Evolution

[edit]
Aquatic animals typically use fins forlocomotion
(1) pectoral fins (paired), (2) pelvic fins (paired), (3) dorsal fin, (4) adipose fin, (5) anal fin, and (6) caudal (tail) fin.

Aristotle recognised the distinction betweenanalogousandhomologous structures,and made the following prophetic comparison: "Birds in a way resemble fishes. For birds have their wings in the upper part of their bodies and fishes have two fins in the front part of their bodies. Birds have feet on their underpart and most fishes have a second pair of fins in their under-part and near their front fins."

– Aristotle,De incessu animalium[44]

There is an old theory, proposed by anatomistCarl Gegenbaur,which has been often disregarded in science textbooks, "that fins and (later) limbs evolved from the gills of an extinct vertebrate". Gaps in the fossil record had not allowed a definitive conclusion. In 2009, researchers from the University of Chicago found evidence that the "genetic architecture of gills, fins and limbs is the same", and that "the skeleton of any appendage off the body of an animal is probably patterned by the developmental genetic program that we have traced back to formation of gills in sharks".[45][46][47]Recent studies support the idea that gill arches and paired fins are serially homologous and thus that fins may have evolved from gill tissues.[48]

Fish are the ancestors of all mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians.[49]In particular, terrestrialtetrapods(four-legged animals) evolved from fish and made their first forays onto land 400 million years ago. They used paired pectoral and pelvic fins for locomotion. The pectoral fins developed into forelegs (arms in the case of humans) and the pelvic fins developed into hind legs.[50]Much of the genetic machinery that builds a walking limb in a tetrapod is already present in the swimming fin of a fish.[51][52]

Comparison between A) the swimming fin of alobe-finned fishand B) the walking leg of atetrapod.Bones considered to correspond with each other have the same color.
In a parallel but independent evolution, the ancient reptileIchthyosaurus communisdeveloped fins (or flippers) very similar to fish (or dolphins).

In 2011, researchers atMonash Universityin Australia used primitive but still livinglungfish"to trace the evolution of pelvic fin muscles to find out how the load-bearing hind limbs of the tetrapods evolved."[53][54]Further research at the University of Chicago found bottom-walking lungfishes had already evolved characteristics of the walking gaits of terrestrial tetrapods.[55][56]

In a classic example ofconvergent evolution,the pectoral limbs ofpterosaurs,birdsandbatsfurther evolved along independent paths into flying wings. Even with flying wings there are many similarities with walking legs, and core aspects of the genetic blueprint of the pectoral fin have been retained.[57][58]

About 200 million years ago the first mammals appeared. A group of these mammals started returning to the sea about 52 million years ago, thus completing a circle. These are thecetaceans(whales, dolphins and porpoises). Recent DNA analysis suggests that cetaceans evolved from within theeven-toed ungulates,and that they share a common ancestor with thehippopotamus.[59][60]About 23 million years ago another group of bearlike land mammals started returning to the sea. These were theseals.[61]What had become walking limbs in cetaceans and seals evolved further, independently in a reverse form of convergent evolution, back to new forms of swimming fins. The forelimbs becameflippersand the hind limbs became a tail terminating in two fins, called aflukein the case of cetaceans.[62]Fish tails are usually vertical and move from side to side. Cetacean flukes are horizontal and move up and down, because cetacean spines bend the same way as in other mammals.[63][64]

Ichthyosaursare ancient reptiles that resembled dolphins. They first appeared about 245 million years ago and disappeared about 90 million years ago.

"This sea-going reptile with terrestrial ancestors converged so strongly on fishes that it actually evolved adorsal finand tail in just the right place and with just the right hydrological design. These structures are all the more remarkable because they evolved from nothing — the ancestral terrestrial reptile had no hump on its back or blade on its tail to serve as a precursor. "[65]

The biologistStephen Jay Gouldsaid the ichthyosaur was his favorite example ofconvergent evolution.[66]

The use of fins forthe propulsionof aquatic animals can be remarkably effective. It has been calculated that some fish can achieve apropulsiveefficiency greater than 90%.[4]Fish can accelerate and maneuver much more effectively thanboatsorsubmarine,and produce less water disturbance and noise. This has led tobiomimeticstudies of underwater robots which attempt to emulate the locomotion of aquatic animals.[67]An example is the Robot Tuna built by theInstitute of Field Robotics,to analyze and mathematically modelthunniform motion.[68]In 2005, theSea Life London Aquariumdisplayed three robotic fish created by the computer science department at theUniversity of Essex.The fish were designed to be autonomous, swimming around and avoiding obstacles like real fish. Their creator claimed that he was trying to combine "the speed of tuna, acceleration of a pike, and the navigating skills of an eel".[69][70][71]

TheAquaPenguin,developed byFestoof Germany, copies the streamlined shape and propulsion by front flippers ofpenguins.[72][73]Festo also developedAquaRay,[74]AquaJelly[75]andAiraCuda,[76]respectively emulating the locomotion of manta rays, jellyfish and barracuda.

In 2004,Hugh Herrat MIT prototyped abiomechatronicrobotic fish with a livingactuatorby surgically transplanting muscles from frog legs to the robot and then making the robot swim by pulsing the muscle fibers with electricity.[77][78]

Robotic fish offer some research advantages, such as the ability to examine part of a fish design in isolation from the rest, and variance of a single parameter, such as flexibility or direction. Researchers can directly measure forces more easily than in live fish. "Robotic devices also facilitate three-dimensional kinematic studies and correlated hydrodynamic analyses, as the location of the locomotor surface can be known accurately. And, individual components of a natural motion (such as outstroke vs. instroke of a flapping appendage) can be programmed separately, which is certainly difficult to achieve when working with a live animal."[79]
