Abstract:We present new constrained and free-swimming experiments and simulations in the inertial regime, with Reynolds number
$\mbox{Re} = O(10^4)$
, of a pair of two-dimensional and three-dimensional pitching hydrofoils interacting in a minimal school. The hydrofoils have an out-of-phase synchronisation, and they are varied through in-line, staggered and side-by-side formations within the two-dimensional interaction plane. It is discovered that there is a two-dimensionally stable equilibriu… Show more
