The fish tail motion forms an attached leading edge vortex.
The tail (caudal fin) is one of the most prominent characteristics of fishes, and the analysis of the flow pattern it creates is fundamental to understanding how its motion generates locomotor forces. A mechanism that is known to greatly enhance locomotor forces in insect and bird flight is the leading edge vortex (LEV) reattachment, i.e. a vortex (separation bubble) that stays attached at the ...
متن کاملThe Leading-Edge Vortex of Swift Wings
Recent investigations on the aerodynamics of natural fliers have illuminated the significance of the Leading-Edge Vortex (LEV) for lift generation in a variety of flight conditions. A well documented example of an LEV is that generated by aircraft with highly swept, delta shaped wings. While the wing aerodynamics of a manoeuvring aircraft, a bird gliding and a bird in flapping flight vary signi...
متن کاملThe leading-edge vortex and quasisteady vortex shedding on an accelerating plate
A computational inquiry focuses on leading-edge vortex LEV growth and shedding during acceleration of a two-dimensional flat plate at a fixed 10°–60° angle of attack and low Reynolds number. The plate accelerates from rest with a velocity given by a power of time ranging from 0 to 5. During the initial LEV growth, subtraction of the added mass lift from the computed lift reveals an LEV-induced ...

متن کاملMotion Effects on Leading-Edge Vortex Behavior Over Delta Wings and Generalized Modeling
Effects of static attitude and three different motions on vortex behavior and its breakdown over delta wings have been investigated. These motions include 1) harmonic oscillation or ramp-and-hold motion in roll at constant resultant angle of attack, 2) harmonic oscillation or ramp-and-hold in pitch and 3) coning at constant resultant angle of attack A basic 65° delta wing configuration was test...
