Abstract

To investigate the unsteady hydrodynamics of stingray locomotion, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) determined pressure and shear force production for prescribed fin kinematics. A nonlinear equation for thrust production and steady swimming speed of the fin was developed through parametric analysis, which can be used for optimal velocity control in a batoid robot.
