This article presents an overview of the state of the art investigations on the recently
developed oscillating foil energy converters. A summary of available knowledge and up-to …

Flexible slender structures are ubiquitous in biological systems and engineering
applications. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) plays a key role in the dynamics of such …

The effects of chordwise deformation and the half-amplitude asymmetry on the
hydrodynamic performance and vortex dynamics of batoid fish have been numerically …

Two-dimensional numerical simulations are used to study the coupled fluid–structure–
electric interaction of a simple model of an inverted piezoelectric flag, and to investigate the …

The flow-induced fluttering motion of a flexible reed inside a heated channel is modeled
numerically and used to investigate the relationship between the aeroelastic vibration of the …

To examine the effects of wing morphing on unsteady aerodynamics, deformable flapping
plates are numerically studied in a low-Reynolds-number flow. Simulations are carried out …

Locomotion of aquatic animals involves flapping of their body to generate lift and thrust.
Through evolution, they have mastered their ability to move through complex environments …

Aquatic and aerial animals have developed their superior and complete mechanisms of
swimming and flight. These mechanisms bring excellent locomotion performances to natural …

The stability of a thin flexible plate confined inside an inviscid two-dimensional channel is
examined using a nonlinear eigenvalue analysis method. A new Green's function for the …

The numerical study on the power extraction performance of a flapping foil with a flexible tail
is performed in this work. A NACA0015 airfoil is arranged in a two-dimensional laminar flow …
