Effect of curvature variations on the hydrodynamic performance of heaving and pitching foils

The use of heaving and pitching fins for underwater propulsion of engineering devices poses an attractive outlook given the efficiency and adaptability of natural fish. However, significant knowledge gaps need to be bridged before biologically inspired propulsion is able to operate at competitive pe...
