Optimization of the efficiency of a biomimetic marine propulsor using CFD

The purpose of this paper is to employ a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) procedure to optimize a biomimetic marine propulsor. This propulsor is based on an undulating panel which emulates the movement of a fin fish. The numerical model has been employed to analyze the hydrodynamics and improve th...
