Abstract:In the investigations of fish swimming, the relationship between fish swimming and the corresponding characteristics of flow field attracts lots of attention. In this paper, the influence of different Strouhal numbers on the flow field characteristics and mechanical characteristics of fish-like body is investigated. It is found that the strength of the anti-Karman vortex and the thrust on the fish-like body are affected by the Strouhal number. When the Strouhal number is small, the thrust coefficient is small … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
