In this paper Numerical simulations are performed using the control volume method to obtain separation point of two-dimensional laminar, steady, incompressible flows. Low Reynolds number flows over cylinder, NACA 0012 and ...

In the present investigation a new kinematic model for a fish-like swimming is presented. In this model the foil has two rotational motions in order to approach of the fish swimming performance. This kinematic model is a generalized model...

to harness extracted power. As a result of this investigation,

the introduced model and code can be used as one of initial tools to predict power capacity for obtaining

vast concept regarding tidal sites with the flapping foil hydrokinetic...

In the present study the power extraction capability by flapping foil hydrokinetic turbine is investigated.

The heaving motion of the foil is considered in two different motion patterns including the simple linear

translational motion...

In present work, effect of different kinematics parameters on oscillating foil energy extraction is numerically investigated. It is noted that velocity of oscillating foil relative to free stream velocity (Tip Speed Ratio) has significant effect...

The term ‘thermal flux’ implies a Maxwellian distribution of velocity and energy corresponding

to the most probable velocity of 2200 m s−1 at 293.4 K. In order to measure the thermal

neutron flux density, the foil activation method...

In this study, the flapping foil propulsion with a novel motion pattern is numerically investigated. The proposed motion pattern is inspired from kinematics of fish species, such as marine mammals, utilizing a foil-shaped tail to swim in aquatic...

In this paper the optimization of kinematics, which has great influence in performance of flapping foil propulsion, is investigated. The purpose of optimization is to design a flapping-wing micro aircraft with appropriate kinematics and aerodynamics...
