Various Wavy Leading-Edge Protuberance on Oscillating Hydrofoil Power Performance [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2023 This paper is presented to compare various wavy leading-edge protuberances on oscillating hydrofoil performance and power efficiency. The unsteady turbulent 3D flow simulations were carried out by using the StarCCM+ software.

Comparing Models of Lateral Station-Keeping for Pitching Hydrofoils [PDF]
Biomimetics, 2019 Fish must maneuver laterally to maintain their position in schools or near solid boundaries. Unsteady hydrodynamic models, such as the Theodorsen and Garrick models, predict forces on tethered oscillating hydrofoils aligned with the incoming flow.

Computational Investigation of Multiple Oscillating Hydrofoils and its Effect on Thrust Augmentation [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 Previous investigations of flapping hydrofoils for the purpose of thrust production have been limited to one or two in tandem. Tandem foils were found to have superior performance because the performance of the aft foil was augmented by the vortices shed

A Simplified Mathematical Model of Pumped Hydrofoils
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This paper presents a simplified mathematical model of a pumped hydrofoil (PH)—a surfboard elevated above water surface and connected to a tandem of hydrofoils by a strut. The PH is operated by a rider who stands on the surfboard and produces swinging up-

Tip Vortex Cavitation on an Oscillating Hydrofoil [PDF]
Journal of Fluids Engineering, 1997 This paper discusses tests conducted in the hydrodynamic tunnel of the University of Grenoble on a 3D oscillating hydrofoil. Visualization of unsteady tip vortex cavitation indicates a strong influence of the water nuclei content. The investigation was focused on the influence of the oscillation frequency on tip vortex cavitation inception.

Role of Shape and Kinematics in the Hydrodynamics of a Fish-like Oscillating Hydrofoil
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 In the present two-dimensional numerical study, we investigate the roles of geometrical parameters of a hydrofoil (shape/curvature of the leading and trailing edges and thickness) and kinematic parameters (phase difference between heave and pitch (ϕ)) on

Generating controllable velocity fluctuations using twin oscillating hydrofoils: experimental validation [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014 AbstractA method for generating controllable two-dimensional velocity fluctuations using two pitching foils was derived theoretically in a previous companion paper. The present work describes the experimental implementation of the method. The experiments are carried out in a re-circulating water channel optimised to provide low turbulence intensity in ...
