Hydrodynamic forces on a side-by-side ellipse pair with and without relative motion

Motivated by flow interactions in schooling biological swimmers as well as in unmanned underwater vehicle fleets, we investigate the flow past two identical 6 : 1 ellipses using two-dimensional simulations at Reynolds numbers of (103). When both ellipses move at the same velocity, overall drag red...
