Numerical Simulation on Undulatory Flow of Swimming Fish

Article Preview

Abstract:

A numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the unsteady flows over a swimming fish. The three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved using the finite volume method with artificial compressibility and dual time stepping approaches on unstructured moving grid. A realistic fish-like body is modeled, which undergoes undulatory swimming in a straight line. Both inviscid and viscous flows have been simulated to study the flow structures.
