Clarifying the relationship between efficiency and resonance for flexible inertial swimmers
Daniel Floryan, Clarence W. Rowley
We study a linear inviscid model of a passively flexible swimmer, calculating its propulsive performance, eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions with an eye towards clarifying the relatio…
Scaling and performance of simultaneously heaving and pitching foils
Tyler Van Buren, Daniel Floryan, Alexander J. Smits
We consider the propulsive performance of an unsteady heaving and pitching foil, experimentally studying an extensive parameter space of motion amplitudes, frequencies, and phase o…
Bio-inspired underwater propulsors
Tyler Van Buren, Daniel Floryan, Alexander Smits
Here we present a general overview of bio-inspired propulsion. We identify the major types of aquatic swimmers (oscillatory, undulatory, pulsatile, and drag-based) and break down t…
