Numerical investigation on the propulsive performance of flexible flapping fins using CFD/CSD method

A FSI (fluid-structure interaction) numerical simulation was performed to investigate the flow field around a flexible flapping fin using an in-house developed CFD/CSD solver. The three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction of the flapping locomotion was achieved by loosely coupling preconditioned...
