Theory and modelling remain central to improving our understanding of undulatory and
oscillatory swimming. Simple models based on added mass can help to give great insight …

Fishes are the longest persisting living vertebrates and as such, display an incredible array
of diversity. Variation in the tail, or caudal fin, is often a reflection of a fish's environment, and …

Morphology of posterior body for thunniform swimmers plays an important role in
determining the propulsion performance. Recent literature mainly focused on the effects of …

The force and power of flapping plates are studied by vortex dynamic analysis. Based on the
dynamic analysis of the numerical results of viscous flow past three-dimensional flapping …

Tunas are known for their extraordinary swimming performance, which is accomplished
through various specializations. The caudal keels, a pair of lateral keel-like structures along …

The effects of changing the trailing edge shape on the wake and propulsive performance of
a pitching rigid panel are examined experimentally. The panel aspect ratio is AR= 1, and the …

The effect of trailing-edge shape on the self-propulsive performance of three-dimensional
flexible plates is studied numerically. In our study, the trailing edges of the plates are …

Three-dimensional CFD simulations of a rigid, square panel pitching about its leading edge
were performed by solving the governing equations in a non-inertial reference frame moving …

Tuna, which are known for high-performance swimming, possess a large crescent dorsal fin
(DF) and a caudal fin (CF) that differ from those of other fishes. The hydrodynamic interaction …

We use three dimensional computer simulations to investigate the free swimming of
plunging elastic plates with aspect ratios ranging from 0.5 to 5 in a viscous fluid with …
