Abstract
A fish-like propulsion interpreted by mechanisms based on form and friction drag may produce some unlikely conclusions about the phenomenon. The body is moved by a traveling wave: the thrust, is a useful force, it arises from the form drag; the friction drag due to this “wave” is similar to the friction on a body with a moving boundary. These was concluded from the kinematics of the wave-type motion of the body.
