Biomimetic chromatophores for camouflage and soft active surfaces.
Chromatophores are the pigment-containing cells in the skins of animals such as fish and cephalopods which have chromomorphic (colour-changing) and controllable goniochromic (iridescent-changing) properties. These animals control the optical properties of their skins for camouflage and, it is speculated, for communication. The ability to replicate these properties in soft artificial skin struct...
متن کاملStudy of geometric shape and water circulation pattern in fish tanks using computational fluid dynamics
Providing comfort conditions for fish from the point of view of velocity uniformity and flow regime is one of the most important requirements of aquaculture improving the production conditions. In this research, for this purpose, by using computational fluid dynamics, Fluent software and k-ɛ turbulence model, the geometrical shape and pattern of water circulation in a fish breeding pond have be...
متن کاملBiomimetics inspired surfaces for drag reduction and oleophobicity/philicity
The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to develop nanomaterials, nanodevices, and processes which provide desirable properties. Hierarchical structures with dimensions of features ranging from the macroscale to the nanoscale are extremely common in nature and possess properties of interest. There are a large number of objects including bacteria, plants, land and...
متن کاملLearning from Fish: Kinematics and Experimental Hydrodynamics for Roboticists
Over the past 20 years, experimental analyses of the biomechanics of locomotion in fishes have generated a number of key findings that are relevant to the construction of biomimetic fish robots. In this paper, we present 16 results from recent experimental research on the mechanics, kinematics, fluid dynamics, and control of fish locomotion that summarize recent work on fish biomechanics. The f...
متن کاملComputational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of an Ideal Anguilliform Swimming Motion
There is an ongoing interest in analyzing the flow characteristics of swimming fish. Biology has resulted in some very efficient motions and formulating these motions is of interest to engineers. One such motion theory was written previously by Vorus and Taravella, and the University of New Orleans was given funds by the Office and Naval Research to test this theory. Computational fluid dynamic...
