Bio-Inspired Design: Aerodynamics of Boxfish

Procedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractThis paper investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a boxfish using both experimental and computational methods. A scaled up model boxfish was manufactured and tested in RMIT Industrial Wind Tunnel under a range of Reynolds numbers and yaw angles. The drag, lift and side forces and their corresponding moments were measured simultaneously. A CAD
