A systematic investigation into the effect of roughness on self-propelled swimming plates
Jonathan Massey, Bharathram Ganapathisubramani, Gabriel Weymouth
This study examines the effects of surface topography on the flow and performance of a Self-Propelled Swimming (SPS) body. We consider a thin flat plate with an egg-carton roughnes…
