AquaMILR+: Design of an untethered limbless robot for complex aquatic terrain navigation
Matthew Fernandez, Tianyu Wang, Galen Tunnicliffe +4
This paper presents AquaMILR+, an untethered limbless robot designed for agile navigation in complex aquatic environments. The robot features a bilateral actuation mechanism that m…
Surfing vortex rings for energy-efficient propulsion
Peter Gunnarson, John O. Dabiri
Leveraging background fluid flows for propulsion has the potential to enhance the range and speed of autonomous aerial and underwater vehicles. In this work, we demonstrate experim…
Wake dynamics of wind turbines in unsteady streamwise flow conditions
Nathaniel J. Wei, Adnan El Makdah, JiaCheng Hu +3
The unsteady flow physics of wind-turbine wakes under dynamic forcing conditions are critical to the modeling and control of wind farms for optimal power density. Unsteady forcing…
Fish-inspired tracking of underwater turbulent plumes
Peter Gunnarson, John O. Dabiri
Autonomous ocean-exploring vehicles have begun to take advantage of onboard sensor measurements of water properties such as salinity and temperature to locate oceanic features in r…
Measurements and modelling of induced flow in collective vertical migration
Nina Mohebbi, Joonha Hwang, Matthew K. Fu +1
Hydrodynamic interactions between swimming or flying organisms can lead to complex flows on the scale of the group. These emergent fluid dynamics are often more complex than a line…
