The Role of Unsteady Hydrodynamics in the Propulsive Performance of a Self-Propelled Bioinspired Vehicle
<p>Aquatic animals differ from typical engineering systems in their method of locomotion. In general, aquatic animals propel using unsteady dynamics producing vortex rings. Researchers have long shown interest in designing devices that resemble their shape and propulsive behavior. Traditional...
