Numerical simulation of bionic foils in tandem arrangement

Based on the backgrounds of underwater propulsors with high hydrodynamic performance, the article focuses on the flapping foils in tandem arrangement and tries to formulate the physical mode and mathematical model of flapping propulsion. Using the commercial software Fluent, the governing equations...
