Hydrodynamic Study of Pisciform Locomotion with a Towed Biolocomotion Emulator
… proposes a reduced-order flow model using the unsteady vortex lattice method (UVLM) to predict the hydrodynamic performance of such a system. The proposed model is then validated with the experimental data collected earlier. The tool developed can be employed to quickly explore the possible …

Shape and Structural Optimization of Flapping Wings
… is performed using the modified Zimmerman method to describe the wing. A quasi-steady aerodynamics model is used to calculate the thrust and input power required during the flapping cycle. An assumed inflow model is derived based on lifting-line theory and is used to better approximate the …
