Energetic benefit and enhanced performance are considered among the most fascinating
achievements of collective behaviours, eg fish schools and flying formations. The collective …

The present study investigates the mechanisms of wake-induced flow dynamics in tandem

The role of the hydrodynamic effect in the collective locomotion of several birds or fish is an
interesting topic. Taking a model of a self-propelled flapping plate, we numerically …

It has been reported that the follower in a tandem configuration with no wall (0W) reduces
the time-averaged input power by utilizing the vortex interception mode (Zhu et al., Phys …

In this work, we have performed numerical simulations of the flapping motion of a
rectangular wing in a three-dimensional flow field using the discrete vortex method (DVM) …

This study explores the nature of forces developed by a batoid-inspired undulating circular
planform. The forces that arise from this type of fin-based propulsion have two components …

Исследование движения деформируемых тел в потоке жидкости является актуальной
задачей инженерных наук и биомеханики. При сопряженной постановке задачи …

Development of propulsion systems for both marine vehicles and aircrafts experienced a
magnificent evolution in the past and will not slow the pace in the future. Remarkable …

In this paper, the design, fabrication, numerical studies, and preliminary characterization of a
multi-fin soft robot are presented. The design is simple, robust, and fully autonomous. The …

In this paper, an undulating soft fin is proposed for surge motions of an underwater robot
inspired from the knife fish. The design, fabrication, and the control approach of the …
