Rapid prototyping of flexible models - a new methods for model testing?
, 2015 To date hydroelastic towing tank models are generally segmented, flexible backbone or hinged models which provide an extremely limited representation of the ship structure and record loads only at a finite number of locations between segments.

Effect of Manta Ray's Flexible Hydrofoil Kinematic Parameters on Autonomous Propulsion Efficiency
MechanicsMarine organisms have evolved various locomotion methods over millions of years to adapt to aquatic environments. Manta rays, with their pectoral fins and flexible hydrofoil propulsion, inspire advancements in underwater propulsion systems. In this study, an overlapping grid was used to create a simplified model based on the pectoral fins of a manta ...

On the trend of prawn catches in bottom trawls in inshore waters off Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh) [PDF]
, 1970 From the results of fishing operations during 3 years (from August 1963 to July 1966) attempts were made to study the extent of availability of prawns for bottom trawls.

Experiments in carangiform robotic fish locomotion [PDF]
, 2000 This paper studies a form of robotic fish movement that is analogous to the carangiform style of swimming seen in nature. We propose a simple quasi-steady fluid flow model for predicting the thrust generated by the flapping tail.

Flexible hydrofoil optimization for the 35th america's cup constrained ego method
, 2017 This paper investigates the use of constrained surrogate models to solve the multi-design optimization problem of a flexible hydrofoil. The surrogate-based optimization (EGO) substitutes the complex objective function of the problem by an easily evaluable model, constructed from a limited number of computations at carefully selected design points ...
