Numerical Simulation on Self-Propulsion Characteristics of Bionic Flexible Foil Considering Ground Wall Effect

In order to figure out the wall effect on the propulsive property of an auto-propelled foil, the commercial open-source code ANSYS Fluent was employed to numerically evaluate the fluid dynamics of flexible foil under various wall distances. A virtual model of NACA0015 foil undergoing travelling wavy...
