A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of a Flapping Hydrofoil as a Thruster
The paper features a computational fluid dynamics study of a flapping NACA0015 hydrofoil moving with a combination soiebiologique.com of sinusoidal heaving and pitching.Several kinematic configurations are explored, varying sequentially pitch and heave amplitude, Strouhal number and phase angle, in an attempt to determine the influence of each para
