Flexible slender structures are ubiquitous in biological systems and engineering
applications. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) plays a key role in the dynamics of such …

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 …

The effects of chordwise deformation and the half-amplitude asymmetry on the
hydrodynamic performance and vortex dynamics of batoid fish have been numerically …

This paper uses a divergence-conforming B-spline fluid discretization to address the long-
standing issue of poor mass conservation in immersed methods for computational fluid …

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 …

Ensuring optimal conditions for fish, especially in terms of uniform velocity fields, is crucial
for aquaculture systems to attain self-cleaning efficiency in rearing tanks and better fish …

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 …

While hydrodynamic interactions for aggregates of swimmers have received significant
attention in the low Reynolds number realm (), there has been far less work at higher …

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 …
