Journal ArticleDOI
A versatile sharp interface immersed boundary method for incompressible flows with complex boundaries
TL;DR: A sharp interface immersed boundary method for simulating incompressible viscous flow past three-dimensional immersed bodies is described, with special emphasis on the immersed boundary treatment for stationary and moving boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotion with flexible propulsors: I. Experimental analysis of pectoral fin swimming in sunfish.
TL;DR: The research program is summarized with the goal of producing a comprehensive data set for each of the five components noted above through a study of pectoral fin locomotion in one species of fish: the bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational modelling and analysis of the hydrodynamics of a highly deformable fish pectoral fin
TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations were used to investigate the flow associated with a bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) pectoral fin during steady forward motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of fin ray flexural rigidity on the propulsive forces generated by a biorobotic fish pectoral fin.
James L. Tangorra,George V. Lauder,Ian W. Hunter,Rajat Mittal,Peter G. A. Madden,Meliha Bozkurttas +5 more
TL;DR: An engineered fin was developed that had a similar interaction with the water as the biological fin and that created close approximations of the three-dimensional motions, flows, and forces produced by the sunfish during low speed, steady swimming.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Development of a Biologically Inspired Propulsor for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
James Tangorra,S.N. Davidson,Ian W. Hunter,Peter G. A. Madden,George V. Lauder,Dong Haibo,Meliha Bozkurttas,Rajat Mittal +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pectoral fin of a bluegill sunfish was used to develop a maneuvering propulsor for unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs).
