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…
