Energy-efficient tunable-stiffness soft robots using second moment of area actuation
Leo Micklem, Gabriel D. Weymouth, Blair Thornton
The optimal stiffness for soft swimming robots depends on swimming speed, which means no single stiffness can maximise efficiency in all swimming conditions. Tunable stiffness woul…
Effects of Aspect Ratio on Rolling and Twisting Foils
A. N. Zurman-Nasution, B. Ganapathisubramani, G. D. Weymouth
Flapping flight and swimming are increasingly studied both due to their intrinsic scientific richness and their applicability to novel robotic systems. Strip theory is often applie…
Span effect on the turbulence nature of flow past a circular cylinder
Bernat Font, Gabriel D. Weymouth, Vinh-Tan Nguyen +1
Turbulent flow evolution and energy cascades are significantly different in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) flows. Studies have investigated these differences in ob…
Deep learning of the spanwise-averaged Navier-Stokes equations
Bernat Font, Gabriel D. Weymouth, Vinh-Tan Nguyen +1
Simulations of turbulent fluid flow around long cylindrical structures are computationally expensive because of the vast range of length scales, requiring simplifications such as d…
Deflected Wake Interaction of Tandem Flapping Foils
N. S. Lagopoulos, G. D. Weymouth, B. Ganapathisubramani
Symmetric flapping foils are known to produce deflected jets at high frequency-amplitude combinations even at a zero mean angle of attack. This reduces the frequency range of usefu…
Universal scaling law in drag-to-thrust wake transition of flapping foils
N. S. Lagopoulos, G. D. Weymouth, B. Ganapathisubramani
Reversed von Kármán streets are responsible for a velocity surplus in the wake of flapping foils, indicating the onset of thrust generation. However, the wake pattern cannot be pre…
