Jet propulsion and undulatory propulsion have attracted researchers' attention widely due to
their excellent hydrodynamic performance among the various propulsive patterns of aquatic …

In this paper, a hinge-connected flexible caudal fin model is built and its hydrodynamic
performance is examined by fluid structure interaction. The caudal fin includes two links and …

Caudal fin has fascinated researchers for decades for their great role in fish swimming, and
researchers have developed lots of designs of caudal fin to achieve high efficiency and …

Fish fin possesses large deformations in its motion cycle assisting fish's swimming, in which
its geometric parameters such as surface area, aspect ratio change greatly, and the complex …

Compound propulsion modes adapting to the flow field features is important to improve the
robotic fish dynamic control level. Flow velocity and pressure field spread data around the …

This paper investigates the hydrodynamic performance of flapping caudal fin by means of
numerical simulation. Dynamic simulations of caudal fin with heaving and pitching motion …

In nature, fishes as the dominant underwater creature use fins to perform underwater
locomotion. The caudal fin of fishes, as the main thrust generator, has been studied …

The undulating fin propulsion mode belongs to one of MPF (median and/or paired fin). This
propulsion mode has great potential and bright prospect because of the remarkable …

The swimming ability of fish is greatly influenced by the hydrodynamics of their caudal fins.
In this paper, the effects of flexibility and shape on the performance of a bioinspired panel …

The undulating fin propulsion mode belonged to one of MPF (median and/or paired fin) has
a great potential and a bright prospect because of the remarkable advantages including …
