Research on propulsion generation mechanism of frog swimming

Estimate of the hydrodynamic force exerting on the frog is a key factor in design of mechanical structure and control system. To research propulsion generation mechanism during frog swimming, computational fluid dynamics–based method was performed. From the propulsive force results, drag and lift co...
