NUMERICAL STUDY ON PROPULSIVE FACTORS IN REGULAR HEAD AND OBLIQUE WAVES
Brodogradnja, 2022 This paper applies Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method to study propulsion performance in head and oblique waves. Finite volume method (FVM) is employed to discretize the governing equations and SST k-ω model is used for modeling the turbulent ...

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

Performance of Very Small Robotic Fish Equipped with CMOS Camera
Robotics, 2015 Underwater robots are often used to investigate marine animals. Ideally, such robots should be in the shape of fish so that they can easily go unnoticed by aquatic animals.

Flow Interactions Between Low Aspect Ratio Hydrofoils in In-line and Staggered Arrangements
Biomimetics, 2020 Many species of fish gather in dense collectives or schools where there are significant flow interactions from their shed wakes. Commonly, these swimmers shed a classic reverse von Kármán wake, however, schooling eels produce a bifurcated wake topology ...

On the Effect of a Rudder on Propulsive Performance
Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1981 In designing a ship, it is important to estimate the effects of the propeller-rudder interaction, as the rudder behind a propeller has a great effect on the propulsive performance of a ship. This interaction problem has been treated theoretically by applying the thin wing theory to the rudder, and the hydrodynamical forces have been discussed.In this ...

More push from your push-off: Joint-level modifications to modulate propulsive forces in old age.
PLoS ONE, 2018 IntroductionCompared to young adults, older adults walk with smaller propulsive forces and a redistribution to more proximal leg muscles for power generation during push-off. Despite this deficit in propulsive function, older adults can increase push-off
