Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Numerical Study on Hydrodynamic Performance of a Pitching Hydrofoil with Chordwise and Spanwise Deformation

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The hydrofoil plays a crucial role in tidal current energy (TCE) devices, such as horizontal-axis turbines (HATs), vertical-axis turbines (VATs), and oscillating hydrofoils.

Cloud Cavitation: The Good, The Bad and the Bubbly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In many cavitating liquid flows, when the number and concentration of the bubbles exceeds some critical level, the flow becomes unsteady and large clouds of cavitating bubbles are periodically formed and then collapse when convected into regions of ...

Untangling sedimentation processes in a deep fjord lake in Labrador: A high‐resolution archive of past environment dynamics at Grand Lake

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1259-1284, November 2025.
Sedimentological and geochemical characteristics are used to reconstruct sedimentation dynamics and erosional processes. Several rapidly deposited layers are characterised over changing depositional environments during the Late Holocene, from a phase when the lake was connected to the sea to a more stable state conducive to varve formation.

Bubbly cloud dynamics and cavitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In many cavitating liquid flows, when the number and concentration of the bubbles exceeds some critical level, the flow becomes unsteady and large clouds of cavitating bubbles are periodically formed and then collapse when convected into regions of ...

Numerical Analysis of Hydrodynamics for Bionic Oscillating Hydrofoil Based on Panel Method [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2016
The kinematics model based on the Slender-Body theory is proposed from the bionic movement of real fish. The Panel method is applied to the hydrodynamic performance analysis innovatively, with the Gauss-Seidel method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations additionally, to evaluate the flexible deformation of fish in swimming accurately when satisfying ...

Flow Memory Effect on Open‐Frame Remotely Operated Vehicle Motion

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 2611-2638, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The flow memory effect is a kind of viscous force caused by acceleration between continuous phases and underwater vehicles and the development of the boundary layer near the interfacial surface. This paper establishes a 6‐degrees‐of‐freedom unsteady equation of motion describing the flow memory effect on viscous hydrodynamic loads.

Partial cavity instabilities [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This paper reviews some of the literature on partial cavity instabilities on single hydrofoils and then summarizes the striking differences in the appearance and behavior of partial cavities on swept foils (as opposed to two-dimensional, unswept foils ...

Research on swimming hydrodynamics based on a three‐dimensional high‐precision fish model

open access: yesRiver, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 341-350, August 2025.
Abstract Fish swimming hydrodynamics serves as a critical foundation for aquatic ecological conservation, with recent research extending from 2D to 3D perspectives. This study employs 3D high‐fidelity modeling with dynamic mesh technology to investigate how cylindrical obstacles at varying positions affect Carassius auratus locomotion. Analysis of nine
