Supplementary Information: Expanded summary of Tables 2, 3, and 4 from Creating underwater vision through wavy whiskers: a review of the flow sensing mechanisms and biomimetic potential of seal whiskers

Dataset

Description

Detailed description of literature on VIV suppression, morphometrics, and material property measurements of seal whiskers.The dataset, presented in the form of an Excel spreadsheet, is comprised of three sheets:
1. Whisker behavior in flow (a summary of work, both numerical and experimental, done to study the behavior of seal whiskers or whisker-like structures in flow). This sheet is an expanded version of Table 2 from the above review article.
2. Whisker geometry measurements (a summary of morphometrics conducted on undulating seal whiskers). This sheet is an expanded version of Table 3 from the above review article.
3. Whisker material properties (a summary of Young's modulus and density measurements in the literature). This sheet is an expanded version of Table 4 from the above review article.
