Self-Propulsive Property of Flexible Foil Undergoing Traveling Wavy Motion: A Numerical Investigation

The propulsive characteristics of self-propelling 3D flexible foil are numerically studied. Two kinds of dynamic boundary techniques, namely the dynamic mesh technique and overlapping mesh technique, are used to realize the self-propulsion of flexible foil. The effects of aspect ratio (<i>AR&l...
