The Hydrodynamics and Energetics of Bioinspired Swimming with Undulatory Electromechanical Fins

Biological systems offer novel and efficient solutions to many engineering applications, including marine propulsion. It is of interest to determine how fish interact with the water around them, and how best to utilize the potential their methods offer. A stingray-like fin was chosen for analysis du...
