This book comprises seven chapters, an appendix, a bibliographical section 98 references,
and an index. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. The stated goal of the book …

This paper is concerned with modeling the dynamics of N articulated solid bodies
submerged in an ideal fluid. The model is used to analyze the locomotion of aquatic animals …

In this article we review the state of the art in the field of control of vortex dynamics. We focus
on problems governed by two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in domains both …

In this modern era of ready access to computational resources, both for research and for
instruction, potential flow theory has become somewhat of an endangered species. Though …

A method is proposed for the study of the two-dimensional coupled motion of a general
sharp-edged solid body and a surrounding inviscid flow. The formation of vorticity at the …

In this paper, we present a method of locomotion control for underwater vehicles that are
propelled by a periodic deformation of the vehicle body, which is similar to the way a fish …

The control and motion planning of bioinspired swimming robots is complicated by the fluid–
robot interaction, which is governed by a very high (infinite)-dimensional nonlinear system …

Unmanned aquatic vehicles and robots are of tremendous importance in a variety of
applications. In this paper, we present the model of an underactuated aquatic robot that is …

It was recognized, since the seminal papers of Arnold (Ann Inst Grenoble 16: 319–361,
1966) and Ebin-Marsden (Ann Math Ser 2 92 (1): 102–163, 1970), that Euler's equations are …

The paper studies the system of a rigid body interacting dynamically with point vortices in a
perfect fluid. For arbitrary value of vortex strengths and circulation around the cylinder the …
