Computational analysis of vortex dynamics and performance enhancement due to body-fin and fin-fin interactions in fish-like locomotion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the hydrodynamic benefits of body-fin and fin-fin interactions in a fish model in carangiform swimming and found that the leading edge vortices produced by the caudal fin are associated with most of the thrust production in this fish model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrust Producing Mechanisms in Ray-inspired Underwater Vehicle Propulsion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Cartesian grid based immersed boundary solver to examine the flow fields produced due to these complex artificial pectoral fin kinematics and found that most thrust force is generated by the distal part of the fin, and it is highly correlated with the spanwise inflexion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Super-lift and thrusting airfoil of coflow jet actuated by micro-compressors

TL;DR: In this paper, the wind tunnel experimental study of coflow jet (CFJ) active flow control airfoils actuated by micro-compressors embedded inside the air-foils is presented.
