Comparative Study of Effect of Fin Arrangement on Propulsion Performance of Bio-Inspired Underwater Vehicles with Multiple SMA Fins
A biologically inspired underwater vehicle (BIUV) was built using multiple lightweight bio-inspired shape memory alloy (SMA) fins. An unsteady 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method using an unstructured, grid-based, and unsteady Navier-Stokes solver with automatic adaptive re-meshing was adop...
