Flow speed has little impact on propulsive characteristics of oscillating foils
Tyler Van Buren, Daniel Floryan, Nathaniel Wei +1
Experiments are reported on the performance of a pitching and heaving two-dimensional foil in a water channel in either continuous or intermittent motion. We find that the thrust a…
Scaling the propulsive performance of heaving and pitching foils
Daniel Floryan, Tyler Van Buren, Clarence W. Rowley +1
Scaling laws for the propulsive performance of rigid foils undergoing oscillatory heaving and pitching motions are presented. Water tunnel experiments on a nominally two-dimensiona…
Forces and energetics of intermittent swimming
Daniel Floryan, Tyler Van Buren, Alexander J. Smits
Experiments are reported on intermittent swimming motions. Water tunnel experiments on a nominally two-dimensional pitching foil show that the mean thrust and power scale linearly…
