Numerical study on hydrodynamic behavior of flexible multi-stage propulsion foil

To examine mechanisms of the high speed and efficiency of propulsion of aquatic animals and to apply the findings to the design of underwater vehicles, this study uses dolphins as an example. The motion of aquatic animals is divided into three stages for the convenience of analysis of bio-propulsion...
