A Non-Linear BEM–FEM Coupled Scheme for the Performance of Flexible Flapping-Foil Thrusters
Recent studies indicate that nature-inspired thrusters based on flexible oscillating foils show enhanced propulsive performance. However, understanding the underlying physics of the fluid−structure interaction (FSI) is essential to improve the efficiency of existing devices and pave the wa...
