TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that a stable coexistence of the jet profile and the large-scale patterns is ensured only at the frequency of maximum amplification, hence at this frequency optimal efficiency is obtained, i.e., maximum thrust per unit input energy.About:

Being There: Putting Brain, Body, and World Together Again
TL;DR: Clark as mentioned in this paper argues that the mental has been treated as a realm that is distinct from the body and the world, and argues that a key to understanding brains is to see them as controllers of embodied activity.

Review of fish swimming modes for aquatic locomotion
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the swimming mechanisms employed by fish is presented, with a relevant and useful introduction to the existing literature for engineers with an interest in the emerging area of aquatic biomechanisms.

Oscillating foils of high propulsive efficiency
TL;DR: In this article, the phase angle between transverse oscillation and angular motion is the critical parameter affecting the interaction of leading-edge and trailing-edge vorticity, as well as the efficiency of propulsion.

Hydrodynamics of Fishlike Swimming
TL;DR: In this article, the principal mechanism for producing propulsive and transient forces in oscillating flexible bodies and fins in water, the formation and control of large-scale vortices, was identified.
