Vorticity Control in Fish-like Propulsion and Maneuvering.
Vorticity control is employed by marine animals to enhance performance in maneuvering and propulsion. Studies on fish-like robots and experimental apparatus modelling rigid and flexible fins provide some of the basic mechanisms employed for controlling vorticity.
متن کاملThree-dimensional flow visualization and vorticity dynamics in revolving wings
We investigated the three-dimensional vorticity dynamics of the flows generated by revolving wings using a volumetric 3-component velocimetry system. The threedimensional velocity and vorticity fields were represented with respect to the base axes of rotating Cartesian reference frames, and the second invariant of the velocity gradient was evaluated and used as a criterion to identify two core ...
متن کاملModeling, simulation and control of fish-like swimming
The modeling and simulation of fish-like swimming is of interest in life sciences as well as in engineering applications. Understanding the mechanics of swimming can help clarifying some aspects of the evolution and of the physiology of aquatic organisms. In engineering, the study and optimisation of aquatic locomotion can improve the design of underwater vehicles having superior manouvering ca...
متن کاملNear-body flow dynamics in swimming fish
We consider the motions and associated flow patterns of a swimming giant danio (Danio malabaricus). Experimental flow-visualization techniques have been employed to obtain the unsteady two-dimensional velocity fields around the straight-line swimming motions and a 60 degrees turn of the fish in the centerline plane of the fish depth. A three-dimensional numerical method is also employed to pred...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Flow and Thermal Structures in Glass Melting
This paper presents a study of the flow and thermal structures in the molten glass bath of a typical glass melting furnace with a throat but without air bubblers or electric boosting. Different separate effects on the flow structure of the glass melt are simulated, but only the glass melt is considered. The net heat flux distribution is imposed at the combustion space/glass melt interface, and ...
