Numerical investigation of cavity dynamics and cavitation-induced vibrations of a flexible hydrofoil [PDF]
This work investigates the cavitation and fluid–structure interaction characteristics of a flexible NACA0015 hydrofoil. The simulation incorporates the Zwart–Gerber–Belamri cavitation model and two-way fluid–structure interactions.

Fluid–Structure Interaction Simulation of Vortex-Induced Vibration of a Flexible Hydrofoil [PDF]
Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is investigated in this study for vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a flexible, backward skewed hydrofoil. An in-house finite element structural solver finite element analysis nonlinear (FEANL) is tightly coupled with the open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) library openfoam to simulate the interaction of a ...

Cavity induced vibration of flexible hydrofoils [PDF]
The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of cavity-induced vibrations on the dynamic response and stability of a NACA66 hydrofoil at 8° angle of attack at Re=750 000 via combined experimental measurements and numerical simulations. The rectangular, cantilevered hydrofoil is assumed to be rigid in the chordwise direction, while the ...

Optimal Design and Numerical Simulation on Fish-Like Flexible Hydrofoil Propeller [PDF]
Hydrofoil is widely used in underwater vehicle for the excellent hydrodynamic characteristics. Currently, researches are mostly about the rigid hydrofoil while the flexible hydrofoil, like the caudal fin, has not been studied adequately.

Control of a flexible, surface-piercing hydrofoil for high-speed, small-scale applications [PDF]
In recent years, hydrofoils have become ubiquitous and critical components of high-performance surface vehicles. Twenty-meter-long hydrofoil sailing craft are capable of reaching speeds in excess of 45 knots. Hydrofoil dinghies routinely travel faster than the wind and reach speeds up to 30 knots.

Systematic micro heat sink optimization based on hydrofoil shape pin fins
Multi-objective optimization of the hydrofoil shaped pin fins for micro heat sinks was studied. Optimization tool utilized a multi objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) and a numerical model that was validated against previously obtained experimental single-

Skeletons of swiftly swimming sharks: Three-dimensional analysis of lamniform vertebral morphology and mineral architecture. [PDF]
We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.
