Research on passive deformation and hydrodynamic performance of a biomimetic cownose ray in gliding motion through fluid-structure interaction analysis
T Xu, Y Luo, Z Hou, Q Huang, Y Cao, G Pan�- Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
This work explores the impact of passive deformation on the hydrodynamic performance of
cownose rays gliding at various angles of attack (AoA) and pectoral fin stiffness. We employ
a partitioned fluid-structure coupling scheme to resolve the dynamic interaction between the
fluid and structure. Specifically, the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved
through the finite volume method, while structural deformation is addressed via the finite
element method. A co-simulation engine is utilized for communication and coordination�…
