Effect of residual soil depth on soil-water characteristic curve and unsaturated shear strength by Tikno, Nickanor

“…The analysis in this study was carried out using statistical analysis with boxplot method, where each parameter was plotted in accordance with depth. Furthermore, five-parameter logistic (5PL) curve was chosen as best-fitting function to develop envelopes, such as upper limit, typical and lower limit, with reference to the boxplot. …”

Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…Biomimetic observations, however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since many of the functions and details of fish fins remain unexplored. This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”
