Hydrodynamics study of dolphin's self-yaw motion realized by spanwise flexibility of caudal fin

The hydrodynamic performance of the virtual underwater vehicle under self-yaw is investigated numerically in this paper, we aim to explore the fluid laws behind this plane motion achieved by the bionic flexibility, especially the spanwise flexibility of the caudal fin. The kinematics of the chordwis...
