Effect of Active and Passive Curvature on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Flapping Fins

Copyright © 2020 ASME Ray-finned fish swim by flapping their fins, which are composed of bony rays connected by an inextensible membrane. Throughout the flapping cycle, the fins typically undergo both ‘passive’ deformation due to hydrodynamic loading, and ‘active’ deformation arising from internal m...
