Investigation on Hydrodynamic Performance of Flapping Foil Interacting with Oncoming Von Kármán Wake of a D-Section Cylinder

Flapping foils are studied to achieve an efficient propeller. The performance of the flapping foil is influenced by many factors such as oncoming vortices, heaving amplitude, and geometrical parameters. In this paper, investigations are performed on flapping foils to assess its performance in the wa...
