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 …

Compared with traditional underwater vehicles, bio-inspired fish robots have the advantages
of high efficiency, high maneuverability, low noise, and minor fluid disturbance. Therefore …

Fish maintain high swimming efficiencies over a wide range of speeds. A key to this
achievement is their flexibility, yet even flexible robotic fish trail real fish in terms of …

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 …

The effects of chordwise deformation and the half-amplitude asymmetry on the
hydrodynamic performance and vortex dynamics of batoid fish have been numerically …

Many swimming and flying animals are observed to cruise in a narrow range of Strouhal
numbers, where the Strouhal number S t= 2 f A/U is a dimensionless parameter that relates …

The propulsive performance of an unsteady heaving and pitching foil is considered, and an
extensive experimental parameter space of motion amplitudes, frequencies, and phase …

The impact of Strouhal number St (= 0.1–1.0), Reynolds number Re (= 50–2000) and
dimensionless wavelength λ (= 0.5–2.0) on the hydrodynamic performance of a travelling …

A desire to further comprehend the hydrodynamic characteristics of three-dimensional
undulating fin propulsion is what motivates the work. First, a high-resolution numerical …

In this study, a successful hybrid model is presented for the simulation of flow induced
vibrations. The novel Fluid-Structure Interaction framework relies on split-forcing Lattice …
