Active tail flexion in concert with passive hydrodynamic forces improves swimming speed and efficiency
Haotian Hang, Sina Heydari, John H. Costello +1
Fish typically swim by periodic bending of their bodies. Bending seems to follow a universal rule; it occurs at about one-third from the posterior end of the fish body with a maxim…
Enhanced flight performance in non-uniformly flexible wings
Lionel Vincent, Min Zheng, John H. Costello +1
The flexibility of biological propulsors such as wings and fins is believed to contribute to the higher performance of flying and swimming animals compared with their engineered pe…
An algorithm to estimate unsteady and quasi-steady pressure fields from velocity field measurements
John O. Dabiri, Sanjeeb Bose, Brad J. Gemmell +2
We describe and characterize a method for estimating the pressure field corresponding to velocity field measurements, such as those obtained by using particle image velocimetry. Th…
