The fluid dynamics of flap** foils are reviewed in this article. A very wide range of
researches are conducted for the two-dimensional flap** foil which has a relatively simple …

The graceful and agile movements of animals are difficult to analyze and emulate because
locomotion is the result of a complex interplay of many components: the central and …

Power may be extracted from a flowing fluid in a variety of ways. Turbines using one or more
oscillating foils are under increasingly active investigation, as an alternative to rotary wind …

Numerical simulations are used to investigate the hydrodynamic benefits of body–fin and fin–
fin interactions in a fish model in carangiform swimming. The geometry and kinematics of the …

Recent studies have shown that by utilizing the interactions among median fins (the dorsal,
anal, and caudal fins), fishes can achieve higher propulsion performance at the caudal fin …

As a result of years of research on the comparative biomechanics and physiology of moving
through water, biologists and engineers have made considerable progress in understanding …

Numerical simulations are employed to study hydrodynamic interactions between two-
dimensional fish-like bodies under a traveling wavy lateral motion in high-density diamond …

Experiments are reported on the behavior of two hydrofoils arranged in an in-line
configuration as they undergo prescribed pitching motions over a wide range of phase lags …

We designed a robotic fish caudal fin with six individually moveable fin rays based on the tail
of the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus. Previous fish robotic tail designs have loosely …

In this study, we numerically investigate the effects of the tail-beat phase differences
between the trailing fish and its neighboring fish on the hydrodynamic performance and …
