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 …

Abstract Series of water tunnel experiments are performed to study the improvement in
energy harvesting by vortex-induced vibrations. Inverted C-shape cylinders with different cut …

A computational analysis of vortex-shedding-induced vibration of a flexible splitter plate
behind a cylinder at a low Reynolds number is conducted to understand effects of the length …

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 …
