Feel the Force: From Local Surface Pressure Measurement to Flow Reconstruction in Fluid-Structure Interaction
Colin Rodwell, Kumar Sourav, Phanindra Tallapragada
Drawing inspiration from the lateral lines of fish, the inference of flow characteristics via surface-based data has drawn considerable attention. The current approaches often rely…
Controlled transport of fluid particles by microrotors in a Stokes flow using linear transfer operators
Jake Buzhardt, Phanindra Tallapragada
The manipulation of a collection of fluid particles in a low Reynolds number environment has several important applications. As we demonstrate in this paper, this manipulation prob…
Parametric roll oscillations of a hydrodynamic Chaplygin sleigh
Kartik Loya, Phanindra Tallapragada
Biomimetic underwater robots use lateral periodic oscillatory motion to propel forward, which is seen in most fishes known as body caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. The lateral oscillat…
Controlled density transport using Perron Frobenius generators
Jake Buzhardt, Phanindra Tallapragada
We consider the problem of the transport of a density of states from an initial state distribution to a desired final state distribution through a dynamical system with actuation.…
A Pendulum-Driven Legless Rolling Jumping Robot
Jake Buzhardt, Prashanth Chivkula, Phanindra Tallapragada
In this paper, we present a novel rolling, jumping robot. The robot consists of a driven pendulum mounted to a wheel in a compact, lightweight, 3D printed design. We show that by d…
