... mobility and capture performance. Design/methodology/approach Computational fluid dynamics ( CFD ) simulations were conducted to investigate the influence of the frame-less structure on flow field characteristics, drag variation at different speeds and vortex shedding caused by boundary-layer...

... a novel design concept of a dolphin-like glider. To testify and analyze the gliding motion without the traditional internal moveable masses, a miniature dolphin-like glider prototype has been developed. With the help of CFD simulation, the hydrodynamic characteristics in gliding motion have been analyzed...
