“…In many scientific research and engineering applications, problems of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) are inevitably encountered, such as the aeroelastic response of airplane wings (Gao, Zhang, & Tang, 2016), vibrations of wind turbine blades (Löhner et al, 2015;Mou, He, Zhao, & Chau, 2017), blood flow through heart valves (Zakaria et al, 2017) and flow past swimming fish or flying insects (Shrivastava, Malushte, Agrawal, & Sharma, 2017). Most of these take place in the fluid domain with complex immersed boundaries (IBs), and these FSI problems present significant challenges to numerical simulations (Akbarian et al, 2018;Ghalandari, Koohshahi, Mohamadian, Shamshirband, & Chau, 2019;Ramezanizadeh, Nazari, Ahmadi, & Chau, 2019) owing to their nonlinear and strongly coupled characteristics (Mhamed & David, 2013;Mosavi, Shamshirband, Salwana, Chau, & Tah, 2019).…”

A second order finite-difference numerical method is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations of incompressible flow, in which the solid body with complex geometry is immersed into the fluid domain with orthogonal Cartesian meshes. To account for influences of the solid body, interactive forces are applied as boundary conditions at Cartesian grid nodes located in the exterior but in the immediate vicinity of the solid body. Fluid flow velocities in these nodes are reconstructed to track and control the deformation of the solid body, in which the local direction normal to the body surface is employed using the level-set function. The capabilities of this method are demonstrated by the application to fish swimming, and the computed behaviors of swimming fish agree well with experimental ones. The results elucidate that the ability of swimming fish to produce more thrust and high efficiency is closely related to the Reynolds number. The single reverse Kármán street tends to appear when both the Strouhal number and tail-beating frequency are small, otherwise the doublerow reverse Kármán street appears. The algorithm can capture the geometry of a deformable solid body accurately, and performs well in simulating interactions between fluid flow and the deforming and moving body. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…There are various studies investigating the hydrodynamics of fish swim together with geometrical considerations. Shrivastava et al (2017) studied the hydrodynamics of undulating NACA 0012 hydrofoils through CFD. Xue et al (2016) reported the hydrodynamics of bionic oscillating hydrofoil mimicking from the tuna fish and analyzed in Fluent software.…”

The most efficient designs are found in the nature. Many natural events and processes have been successfully transferred to the science and technology in order to solve the problems or to increase the efficiency of the systems. The hydrodynamic principles were efficiently employed by swimming animals for many years. Excellent body shapes of fish species have enabled them to continue their generation until today. The aim of this study is to understand the 2D hydrodynamics of the tope shark (Galeorhinus galeus) and to analyze the fluid flow around its body hydrofoil. The hydrofoil of the tope shark (TSH) has been generated using a real-scale image and digitalized using NURB (Non-uniform B-spline) curves. ANSYS CFX software has been employed for CFD simulations after suitable meshing around the TSH. The pressure and velocity area around the shark hydrofoil was illustrated for different angles of attack and Re numbers. The hydrodynamic performance variables such as lift, drag and pressure coefficients for the hydrofoil were analyzed.
