This paper presents a comprehensive study on the effects of the caudal fin shape on the biomimetic propulsion performance of a harmonically heaving and pitching caudal fin. A propulsion system was designed and a series of hydrodynamic experiments for three caudal fin shapes (the whale caudal fin, the dolphin caudal fin, and the tuna caudal fin) were performed. Then numerical simulations based on RANS...
This paper presents a comprehensive study on the effects of the caudal fin shape on the propulsion performance of a harmonically heaving and pitching caudal fin. A simulation program based on an unsteady panel method was developed to analysis the hydrodynamic performance of a flapping caudal fin for three shapes (the whale caudal fin, the dolphin caudal fin, and the tuna caudal fin). Then, a series...
