Numerical Simulation of a Multi-Body System Mimicking Coupled Active and Passive Movements of Fish Swimming

A multi-body system model is proposed for the mimicking of swimming fish with coupled active and passive movements. The relevant algorithms of the kinematics and dynamics of the multi-body system and coupled fluid solver are developed and fully validated. A simplified three-body model is applied for...
