The hydrodynamics of self-rolling locomotion driven by the flexible pectoral fins of 3-D bionic dolphin
The novel autonomous rolling performance is realized by the pair of pectoral fins of a three-dimensional(3-D) bionic dolphin in this paper numerically. 3-D Navier–Stokes equations are employed to simulate the viscous fluid around the bionic dolphin. The effect of self-rolling manoeuvrability is expl...
