Tethering and depth of submergence affect the swimming performance of undulatory robots
Alexandros Anastasiadis, Auke J. Ijspeert, Karen Mulleners
Over the past few decades, biomimetic robotic experiments have significantly advanced our understanding of undulatory swimming. Compared to animal experiments, robotic experiments…

On the wake and flapping dynamics of different aspect ratio flags
Gaétan Raynaud, Gaétan Raynaud, Karen Mulleners
The flapping of flags is a classical problem involving fast and large amplitude deformations of a thin flexible plate and unsteady flow phenomena. We perform systematic time and sp…

Event-based reconstruction of time-resolved centreline deformation of flapping flags
Gaetan Raynaud, Karen Mulleners
High-speed imaging is central to the experimental investigation of fast phenomena, like flapping flags. Event-based cameras use new types of sensors that address typical challenges…
