Details of a tandem foil configuration, undergoing synchronous (í µí¼ = 0 • ), heave-to-pitch coupling.
Source publication
In this work, we describe the impact of aspect ratio (AR) on the performance of optimally phased, identical flapping flippers in a tandem configuration. Three-dimensional simulations are performed for seven sets of single and tandem finite foils at a moderate Reynolds number, with thrust producing, heave-to-pitch coupled kinematics. Increasing slen...

Context 1
... this study, all simulations are conducted for í µí»¼ 0 = 20 • due to its dominance within modern cetaceans (Fish and Rohr, 1999) and relevant studies in tetrapodal swimming ( Muscutt et al., 2017a). The complete tandem arrangement is depicted in figure 4. To distinguish parameters referring to the front or the back foil, we utilize the subscripts í µí± (already mentioned above) and í µí± respectively, for the remaining of this study. ...

Oscillatory swimming of a fishlike body, whose motion is essentially promoted by the flapping tail, has been studied almost exclusively in axial mode under an incoming uniform stream or, more recently, self-propelled under a virtual body resistance. Obviously, both approaches do not consider the unavoidable recoil motions of the actual body which h...
