To investigate the role of the amplitude of an object under the unsteady wall effect in fluid
dynamics, we modelled an undulating fin near a wall in a two-dimensional Cartesian …

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 …

Fish movement investigations typically assume motion through unbound fluids. However,
benthic organisms experience ground effects when moving near substrates. To identify the …

The transient numerical simulation has been conducted by using of the Overlapping grid
technique to investigate the ground wall effect on the propulsive performance of an …

The propulsive characteristics of self-propelling 3D flexible foil are numerically studied. Two
kinds of dynamic boundary techniques, namely the dynamic mesh technique and …

Researchers have been inspired to study the mechanics of aquatic animals to develop
advanced underwater vehicles and robots, as they demonstrate swimming abilities that are …

In this work, the propulsive characteristic of an auto-propelled 2 D NACA0015 foil
undergoing traveling wave motion is numerically investigated. The effects of typical motion …

A complex fluid-structure interaction can often create nonlinear dynamic behaviour in the
structure. This can be better estimated using nonlinear modal analysis, capable of …

In this research, the sinusoidal actuation of a flexible fin for median and/or paired fin
propulsion is studied. A prototype of an underwater robot is built, and the computer-aided …
