Characterization of a harbor seal whisker-inspired flow sensor

Heather Beem, +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sensor with the undulatory geometry of a harbor seal whisker has been designed, fabricated, and characterized for use as a mechanical sensor of flow velocity, and a waterproof design with a pressure housing has been made, allowing the sensor to operate at depth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Swimming kinematics and efficiency of entangled North Atlantic right whales

Julie van der Hoop, +3 more
- 12 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: This work deployed biologging tags during the disentanglement of 2 North Atlantic right whales to examine how their kinematics changed in response to drag and buoyancy from entanglement in fishing gear, and calculates resultant changes in swimming efficiency for one individual.

State-Space Adaptation of Unsteady Lifting Line Theory: Twisting/Flapping Wings of Finite Span

Jacob Izraelevitz, +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-order state-space adaptation of the unsteady lifting line model has been derived for a wing of finite aspect ratio, suitable for use in real-time control of wake-dynamics.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Flexible, zero powered, piezoelectric MEMS pressure sensor arrays for fish-like passive underwater sensing in marine vehicles

Mohsen Asadnia, +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a flexible MEMS pressure sensor array is developed for underwater sensing applications, which is capable of locating underwater objects by transducing the pressure variations generated by the stimulus.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Vortex structures generated by a nite-span oscillating foil

Paolo Blondeaux, +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the three-dimensional vortex structures shed by the foil are analyzed using dieren t approaches, and the results show that for a foil span equal to three foil chord the results are signican tly dierent from the two-dimensional case.
