“…However, scholars' research on hydrofoils and airfoils has the same goal of improving performance (increasing lift and reducing drag). Scholars have undertaken much research on increasing lift and reducing drag of airfoils, mainly including bionics [3,4], vortex generators [5,6], synthetic jet [7,8], and multi-element airfoil [9,10]. However, the working environment of the hydrofoil is quite different from that of the wing, and not necessarily applicable.…”

In order to improve the hydrodynamic performance of hydrofoils, this paper shows excellent hydrodynamic performance according to the flapping motion of fish through the tail fin. The Naca66 hydrofoil is used as the original hydrofoil and the trailing edge flap configuration is added. Ansys-fluent is used to analyze the relationship between the structural parameters (length and angle) of the flap and the hydrodynamic performance of the hydrofoil, the reliability of CFD numerical simulation is verified by PIV experiment. It is found that the hydrofoil, with clockwise rotating short flap, can significantly improve the hydrodynamic performance of a hydrofoil at a small angle of attack; at a high angle of attack, the hydrofoil with counterclockwise flap can increase the critical stall angle and slightly improve the hydrodynamic performance of the hydrofoil. The hydrodynamic performance of hydrofoil with rotatable short flaps reported in this paper can provide valuable information for the design and optimization of this kind of hydrofoil.
