Hydrodynamic Interactions of Pitching Hydrofoils in Close Formation

Hydrodynamics interaction is a factor in the performance of fish schooling or underwater vessels in close formation. In this work, we visualized the wake structure of pitching hydrofoils using an inclined soap film. We considered one-, two-, three- and nine-foil configurations with different spacing...
