Scaling Laws for Caudal Fin Swimmers Incorporating Hydrodynamics, Kinematics, Morphology, and Scale Effects
Jung Hee Seo, Ji Zhou, Rajat Mittal
Many species of fish, as well as biorobotic underwater vehicles, employ body caudal fin propulsion, in which a wave-like body motion culminates in high-amplitude caudal fin oscilla…

Hydrodynamically Beneficial School Configurations in Carangiform Swimmers: Insights from a Flow-Physics Informed Model
Ji Zhou, Jung-Hee Seo, Rajat Mittal
Researchers have long debated which spatial arrangements and swimming synchronizations are beneficial for the hydrodynamic performance of fish in schools. In our previous work (Seo…

Modeling the effect of hydrodynamic wakes in dynamical models of large-scale fish schools
Ji Zhou, Jung-Hee Seo, Rajat Mittal
A novel model of the wake of swimming fish is developed and incorporated into a dynamical model of a fish school to explore the effect of hydrodynamics on the emergent behavior in…
