Jet creation and wave energy dissipation by a submerged elastic plate
Diane Komaroff, Gatien Polly, Alexis Mérigaud +2
Experiments on a flexible plate horizontally submerged in a wave tank are reported in this paper. The plate is held at a fixed depth at its upstream end, while its downstream end i…
Windsurf-mimetic study about unsteady propulsion
Gauthier Bertrand, Ramiro Godoy-Diana, Benjamin Thiria +1
We study experimentally a a three-dimensional reduced model of a sail shape performing pitching oscillations around a mean incidence angle () with respect to an incoming flo…
Aerodynamic consequences of wing damage in dragonflies
Peng Yu, Ramiro Godoy-Diana, Benjamin Thiria +2
Flapping wings are the primary means by which dragonflies generate forces, but they are susceptible to damage due to their inherent fragility. The damage results in a reduction in…
Propulsive performance of a windsurf-inspired pitching foil
Gauthier Bertrand, Tristan Aurégan, Benjamin Thiria +2
We study experimentally a symmetrical rigid foil performing pitching oscillations around a mean incidence angle () with respect to an incoming flow in a hydrodynamic channel…
Water wave interactions with a horizontal submerged elastic plate
Gatien Polly, Alexis Mérigaud, Benjamin Thiria +1
This article explores how a submerged elastic plate, clamped at one edge, interacts with water waves. Submerged elastic plates have been considered as potentially effective design…
Confinement-driven state transition and bistability in schooling fish
Baptiste Lafoux, Paul Bernard, Benjamin Thiria +1
We investigate the impact of confinement density (i.e the number of individuals in a group per unit area of available space) on transitions from polarized to milling state, using g…
