The fluid dynamics of flapping foils are reviewed in this article. A very wide range of
researches are conducted for the two-dimensional flapping foil which has a relatively simple …

The impact of Strouhal number St (= 0.1–1.0), Reynolds number Re (= 50–2000) and
dimensionless wavelength λ (= 0.5–2.0) on the hydrodynamic performance of a travelling …

Natural swimmers usually perform undulations to propel themselves and perform a range of
maneuvers. These include various biological species ranging from microsized organisms to …

The present study investigates the complex vortex interactions in two-dimensional flow-field
behind a symmetric NACA0012 airfoil undergoing a prescribed periodic pitching-plunging …

We perform numerical simulations using immersed boundary method for flow over a single
and two fish in tandem performing traveling wave like motion for a range of Strouhal …

The present study is a numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic effects of passive
flexibility on a self-propelled plunging foil. In the model problem, the flow is two-dimensional …

The wake symmetry properties of a flapping-foil system are closely associated with its
propulsive performance. In the present work, the effect of the foil flexibility on the wake …

Symmetric flapping foils are known to produce deflected jets at high frequency–amplitude
combinations even at a zero mean angle of attack. This reduces the frequency range of …

We propose a two-population lattice Boltzmann model on standard lattices for the simulation
of compressible flows. The model is fully on-lattice and uses the single relaxation time …

The drag–thrusttransition and wake structures of a pitching foil undergoing asymmetric
sinusoidal oscillation are numerically investigated for foil thickness-based Strouhal number …
