Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) fluid-structure-interaction simulations are conducted for real and hypothetical batoid-fish-like swimming, using a unified 3D kinematic model; proposed here. The combined effect of batlike flapping and fishlike undulation results in various types of 3D vortex structures that are correlated with the propulsive performance parameters and can be used for an efficient design of underwater vehicles.
