Fluid-induced flag vibrations provide unattended, efficient, low-cost, and scalable solutions
for energy harvesting to power distributed wireless sensor nodes, heat transfer …

The swimming of aquatic animals and flying of insects and birds have fascinated physicists
and biologists for more than a century. In this regard, great efforts have been made to …

The immersed boundary method is a methodology for dealing with boundary conditions at
fluid–fluid and fluid–solid interfaces. The immersed boundary method has been attracting …

A fish may gain hydrodynamic benefits from being a member of a school. Inspired by fish
schools, a two-dimensional simulation was performed for flexible fins propelled in tandem …

The mechanism by which aggregates of active swimmers are formed is an intriguing
problem. In this Letter we show that, for two tandem self-propelled filaments driven by …

The flow-induced fluttering motion of a flexible reed inside a heated channel is modeled
numerically and used to investigate the relationship between the aeroelastic vibration of the …

We perform numerical simulations using immersed boundary method for flow over a single
and two fish in tandem performing traveling wave like motion for a range of Strouhal …

In this study, the effects of the interaction of piezoelectric flags in the tandem configuration on
energy harvesting in a wake flow are experimentally investigated. The flags are placed …

The use of flexible plates or “flags” as vortex generators inside a channel was successfully
demonstrated as an alternative heat transfer enhancement technique. This paper aims to …

The interaction of tandem inverted flexible flags in a uniform flow is investigated. For the
inverted flags, their ends are fixed with their heads freely flap**. A direct numerical …
