Fluid dynamics of a self-propelled biomimetic underwater vehicle with pectoral fins

Fluid dynamics of a self-propelled biomimetic underwater vehicle (BUV) with pectoral fins is investigated by an immersed boundary (IB) method. Typically, the BUV with a pair of pectoral fins starts from rest and attains a constant mean velocity as the mean longitudinal force is zero. The capability...
