Numerical investigation of small fish accelerating impulsively to terminal speed

The present paper discusses acceleration in the swimming of a small three-dimensional fish with two motions, carangiform and anguilliform. Flow fields generated by fish deformations are investigated numerically by the constrained interpolation profile method in combination with an immersed boundary...
