Three-dimensional simulation of a self-propelled fish-like body swimming in a channel

In this study, a three-dimensional simulation of a fish-like body swimming in a channel with non-slip walls was carried out to investigate the effects of kinematics on swimming performance. Self-propelled swimming in an inertial coordinate system was examined by using the direct forcing immersed bou...
