Oscillating foils of high propulsive efficiency

Oscillating foils of high propulsive efficiency

Thrust-producing harmonically oscillating foils are studied through force and power measurements, as well as visualization data, to classify the principal characteristics of the flow around and in the wake of the foil. Visualization data are obtained using digital particle image velocimetry at Re...
