Modal decomposition techniques have become important mathematical methodologies in
analysing complex flow physics. The data-driven methods, such as proper orthogonal …

This paper employs numerical simulation to study the hydrodynamics of porpoising behavior
in dolphins. The virtual swimmer is a three-dimensional dolphin-like body with prescribed …

This paper presents a systematic work focused on the thrust generation and wake structures
of two travelling-wavy foils with tandem, parallel and staggered arrangements, therein …

This paper explores the energy-saving advantages of the burst-and-glide swimming and
compares it with the normal self-swimming for a thunniform swimmer. The virtual swimmer …

Simple Summary In this study, we reported a case of epimeletic behavior in Indo-Pacific
humpback dolphin. Using a combination of drone and conventional photography, we were …

Motivated by flow interactions in schooling biological swimmers as well as in unmanned
underwater vehicle fleets, we investigate the flow past two identical 6: 1 ellipses using two …

In this study, a computational fluid dynamics model is employed to investigate the influence
of different flocking behaviors on the hydrodynamic performance of dual-fish propulsion …

We investigate the dynamics and energy production capability of a flexible piezoelectric
plate submerged close to the free surface and exposed to incident head gravity waves and …

Dolphin swimming has been a captivating subject, yet the dorsal fin's hydrodynamics remain
underexplored. In this study, we conducted three-dimensional simulations of flow around a …

During October and November 2015, the first systematic survey of Sousa teuszii was carried
out in the Saloum Delta (Senegal, West Africa), comprising 1 617.5 km of boat-based survey …
