Abstract

The propulsive performance of fish-like motion was analyzed by estimating the thrust and drag forces at self-propulsive point. Numerical simulations and experiments were carried out for the analysis, and it enables us to know the hydro-dynamical propulsion performance of fish-like motion. The two-dimensional waving wing was employed for the target of basic study of propulsive performance, and the hydrodynamic forces acting on the wing were investigated.
