To understand the fluid dynamics of a biologically inspired unsteady low-aspect-ratio
propulsor, unsteady pressure distributions were measured and compared with time …

Volumetric measurement for the wake structures generated by a freely swimming zebra fish
has been conducted by tomographic particle image velocimetry. The 3D flow visualization is …

Three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out to study the hydrodynamic
performance and flow features of a bio-inspired underwater propulsor. The propulsor is …

Jet flows induced by pitching cantilever plates provide a power-efficient solution for fluid
acceleration and cooling enhancement. In such applications, the time-averaged (mean) …

the control of fish-like locomotion Juan B. Melli A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of …

Experiments are conducted to better understand the effects of flexibility in generating
unsteady bio-inspired propulsion. It is found that by exploiting the effects of flexibility, the …

The locomotion of fish and aquatic animals is achieved by the oscillation of fins and flukes,
which creates highly three-dimensional, unsteady flow fields that are not yet well …
