Abstract
Intermittent swimming has been recognized as a strategy for fish to enhance their energetical efficiency. In this study, a hybrid computational fluid dynamic model is used to assess the swimming performance in intermittent swimming parametrically and quantitatively. The results show that the energetical performance of intermittent swimming can be better than that of continuous swimming, but also that an unoptimized intermittent gait may become very energetically expensive.
