Rather than drafting, vortex capture dictates efficiency in three-hydrofoil schools

Pedro C. Ormonde, Yuanhang Zhu, Daniel Quinn +1

Three-dimensional experiments are presented on a school of three pitching hydrofoils. Two side-by-side leader foils maintain the same relative positions while the location of a thi…

Maneuvering of an underwater vehicle using bio-inspired pectoral fins

Pedro C. Ormonde, Xiaowei He, Kenneth Breuer

A Cyber-physical underwater vehicle is equipped with bio-inspired flapping fins positioned on the sides of the vehicle's main body. The proposed control surfaces are inspired by fi…

Tuna-Like Swimmers Experience a Fluid-Mediated Stable Side-by-Side Formation

Pedro C. Ormonde, Matthew Stasolla, Alec Menzer +4

New free-swimming experiments and simulations are conducted on a pair of three-dimensional, bio-robotic swimmers composed of a body and tail section based on Yellowfin tuna, Thunnu…

Two-dimensionally stable self-organization arises in simple schooling swimmers through hydrodynamic interactions

Pedro Costa Ormonde, Melike Kurt, Amin Mivehchi +1

We present new constrained and free-swimming experiments and simulations of a pair of pitching hydrofoils interacting in a minimal school. The hydrofoils have an out-of-phase synch…

Fermion Resonances in Quiver Theories with a pNGB Higgs

Gustavo Burdman, Pedro Ormonde, Victor Peralta

Hierarchical quiver models can be used to build theories of electroweak symmetry breaking and natural models of flavor with a pseudo--Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) Higgs. They are c…
