Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Analytical and numerical investigation of nonlinear internal gravity waves [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2001
The propagation of long, weakly nonlinear internal waves in a stratified gas is studied. Hydrodynamic equations for an ideal fluid with the perfect gas law describe the atmospheric gas behaviour. If we neglect the term Ͽ dw/dt (product of the density

On the Interpretation of Gravity Wave Measurements by Ground-Based Lidars

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2017
This paper asks the simple question: How can we interpret vertical time series of middle atmosphere gravity wave measurements by ground-based temperature lidars? Linear wave theory is used to show that the association of identified phase lines with quasi-

Hydrodynamical stellar models including rotation, internal gravity waves and atomic diffusion. I. Formalism and tests on Pop I dwarfs

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper, we develop a formalism in order to incorporate the contribution of internal gravity waves to the transport of angular momentum and chemicals over long time-scales in stars.

Instabilities of Internal Gravity Wave Beams [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2018
Internal gravity waves play a primary role in geophysical fluids: They contribute significantly to mixing in the ocean, and they redistribute energy and momentum in the middle atmosphere. Until recently, most studies were focused on plane wave solutions.

Asymptotics of Far Fields of Surface and Internal Gravitational Waves from Local and Nonlocal Perturbation Sources

open access: yesRussian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
The far fields of internal gravity waves from a radially symmetric initial perturbation of lines of equal density in a layer of a stratified medium of finite thickness, as well as the far fields of surface waves from an impulse source in a homogeneous ...

The relation of gravity waves and turbulence in the mesosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Since researchers couldn't prove that the mesospheric turbulence layers are generated by the simultaneously existing short-period gravity waves, they invoked other generation mechanisms than wave breaking.

Magnetic Field Driven Microrobot Based on Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based magnetic microrobots synergize remote magnetic control with the biocompatibility of flexible hydrogels, emerging as promising tools for minimally invasive biomedicine. This enables remotely controllable, untethered navigation within complex biological microenvironments.

Is VHF Fresnel reflectivity due to low frequency buoyancy waves? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
VHF radar echoes are greatly enhanced near the zenith relative to other directions. This enhancement must be due to reflection from horizontally stratified laminate of refractive index.
