How swimming style and schooling affect the hydrodynamics of two accelerating wavy hydrofoils

Zhonglu Lin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of swimming styles and schooling on accelerating fish schools. It found that fish schools with lower wavelengths have higher propulsive efficiency, while fish schools with higher wavelengths have higher thrust. Additionally, the follower can benefit from the leader's performance by adjusting the phase difference, especially at higher wavelengths and close distances.

Symmetry Breaking of Tail-Clamped Filaments in Stokes Flow

Jian Deng et al.

Summary: Symmetry breaking plays an important role in understanding the behavior of flexible filaments clamped at one end and placed in a periodic array in Stokes flow. The equilibrium state of the filament loses stability along the streamwise direction, undergoing two-dimensional and three-dimensional symmetry breaking as the spanwise distance increases or the filament rigidity decreases. For slightly deformed filaments, viscous and pressure forces are comparable, while for highly deformed filaments, the viscous force becomes dominant.
