On the interaction of surface water waves and fully-submerged elastic plates
G. Polly, A. Mérigaud, R. Alhage +2
The interaction between fully-submerged elastic plates and surface waves is of high interest to optimize wave energy converters such as the "Wave Carpet". This study focuses on the…
Modelling of an actuated elastic swimmer
Miguel Piñeirua, Benjamin Thiria, Ramiro Godoy-Diana
We study the force production dynamics of undulating elastic plates as a model for fish-like inertial swimmers. Using a beam model coupled with Lighthill's large-amplitude elongate…
On the relation between linear stability analysis and mean flow properties in wakes
Benjamin Thiria, Gilles Bouchet, Jose Eduardo Wesfreid
In recent studies on wake stability, it has been observed that a simple linear stability analysis applied to the mean flow instead of the basic flow, could give an accurate predict…
Stabilizing effect of flexibility in the wake of a flapping foil
Catherine Marais, Benjamin Thiria, José Eduardo Wesfreid +1
The wake of a flexible foil undergoing pitching oscillations in a low-speed hydrodynamic tunnel is used to examine the effect of chord-wise foil flexibility in the dynamical featur…
