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 …

A review of recent literature on thrust generation mechanisms by a hydrofoil, bioinspired
from fish locomotion is presented. The present work considers fish-inspired periodic …

Recently, energy harvesting through periodic snapping, namely snap-through, has gained
significant attention for energy harvesting applications. In this study, the snapping dynamics …

Hydrofoil based tidal arrays have emerged as a promising solution for large-scale power
generation due to their high efficiency, cost effectiveness, and minimal interferences to the …

Despite the valuable previous studies on energy harvesting from flutter instability, no
decisive ranking still exists between fluttering generators and harvesters based on other …

This paper experimentally investigates the propulsion of semi-active hydrofoils from wave
energy. For the case of NACA 0012 foil section, heave amplitude h 0= 1.0 chord, Reynolds …

The performance of a semi-passive oscillating hydrofoil, with activated pitching motion and
induced heaving motion, is numerically studied by OpenFoam. The two-dimensional …

Bio-inspired flapping hydrofoils can be used for propulsion or energy extraction, which has
aroused the interest of many scholars. This paper experimentally and numerically studies …

An experimental investigation of a pitch-heave fully-passive system undergoing large
amplitude coupled flutter induced limit cycle oscillations (LCO) is conducted. The main …

Bionic flapping hydrofoils can be utilized for either energy extraction or propulsion, which
