    Energetic Benefits for Two Swimmers in a Circular Runway

    Danshi Liu1, Jiadong Wang1, Xuewei Mao1, Jian Deng1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09789

    Abstract The coordinated motion by multiple swimmers is a fundamental component in fish school. Fish swimming in a certain formation (tandem, side by side, diamond and phalanx etc.) can gain substantial energetic benefits. However, the question whether the non-straight swimming behaviors such as milling structure in other collective patterns can also gain energetic benefits remains to be explored. Based on a series of simulations on two self-propelled swimmers, we provide a viewpoint for the energetic benefits of milling pattern in collective behaviors. The trajectory and velocity of both swimmers are controlled by a PID approach. First,… More >

    Thrust Generation and Flow Structure of a Flapping Foil in a Stratified Flow

    Jiadong Wang1, Prabal Kandel1, Jian Deng1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09788

    Abstract The flapping foils with appropriate locomotion inspired by the high-aspect-ratio appendages from natural animals promise a new technical solution for the propulsion of both aircrafts and marine vehicles. The artificial devices using such a novel thrust system are possibly placed in a stratified flow due to the fact that the stratification is ubiquitous throughout real-world environment. Based on a series of two-dimensional numerical simulations, the propulsive performance and wake structure of a fully-activated flapping foil in a density stratified fluid are investigated in this work. It is found that the hydrodynamic characteristics of flapping foils… More >
