Undulatory underwater swimming: Linking vortex dynamics, thrust, and wake structure with a biorobotic fish
Christophe Brouzet, Christophe Raufaste, Médéric Argentina
Flapping-based propulsive systems rely on fluid-structure interactions to produce thrust. At intermediate and high Reynolds numbers, vortex formation and organization in the wake o…

Optimum control strategies for maximum thrust production in underwater undulatory swimming
L. fu, S. Israilov, J. Sanchez Rodriguez +4
Fishes, cetaceans, and many other aquatic vertebrates undulate their bodies to propel themselves through water. Swimming requires an intricate interplay between sensing the environ…

Interface dynamics in shear-banding flow of giant micelles
S. Lerouge, M. A. Fardin, M. Argentina +2
We report on a non trivial dynamics of the interface between shear bands following a start-up of flow in a semi-dilute wormlike micellar system investigated using a combination of…
