Fig. 4. Components of thrust in Xenopus laevis swimming. Total thrust (green line), translational thrust (red line) and rotational thrust (blue line) and swimming velocity (dashed black line) during (A) slow swimming and (B) fast swimming. (C) Total thrust (green line), added mass-based thrust (red line) and drag-based thrust (blue line) during slow swimming and (D) fast swimming. (E) Total added mass-based thrust (solid red line), and translational (dashed red line) and rotational added mass-based thrust (dotted red line) during slow swimming and (F) fast swimming. (G) Total drag-based thrust (solid blue line), and translational (dashed blue line) and rotational drag-based thrust (dotted blue line) during slow swimming and (H) fast swimming. Note that the green total thrust traces are identical in A and C as well as in B and D.
