A Numerical Model for the Analysis of the Locomotion of a Cownose Ray

A Numerical Model for the Analysis of the Locomotion of a Cownose Ray

Among all aquatic species, mantas and rays swim by flapping their pectoral fins; this motion is similar to other fishes in terms of efficiency, but it gives better maneuverability and agility in turning. The fin’s motion is featured by a traveling wave going opposite to the forward motion, producing...
