Fishes have learned how to achieve outstanding swimming performance through the
evolution of hundreds of millions of years, which can provide bio-inspiration for robotic fish …

Collective behaviour defines the lives of many animal species on the Earth. Underwater
swarms span several orders of magnitude in size, from coral larvae and krill to tunas and …

The investigation of fish swimming is prevalent in the fields of biomimetic hydrodynamics
and is important for research on the temporal–spatial evolvement of vortex structures around …

The mechanism behind stable aggregations of active swimmers is not fully understood. In
particular, the in-depth quantitative explanations are notably lacking. To address this, a …

The effect of phase difference on the collective locomotion of two tandem flapping foils is
numerically studied in this paper. The numerical results indicate that the collective …

The hydrodynamic performance of a self-propelled carangiform swimmer with a flexible
caudal fin in the absence of a free stream is numerically investigated, where the fin's …

Unsteady flow characteristics and propulsive performance during self-propulsion of various
types of fishes-like undulating 2D NACA0012 hydrofoil are studied using a unified kinematic …

The collective hydrodynamics in fish schools and bird flocks, which includes self-
organization of multiple dynamic bodies, is complex and lacks sufficient exploration. In this …

In order to simulate the under control self-propelled swimming of bionic fishes, a coupling
method of hydrodynamics/kinematics/motion-control is presented in this paper. The Navier …

Wake interaction provides hydrodynamic gain and flow-aided navigation in fish schools. The
lateral spacing L y and phase angle Φ relative to upstream wake are two important states for …
