On the rules for aquatic locomotion (2017, background): “[26] where the swimming speed of fish was derived as a function of the body length, drag coefficient, and metabolic rate.”
On the best design for undulatory swimming (2013, background): “…the literature, starting with the pioneering works of Gray (1933) and Bainbridge (1958, 1963), and have been reviewed numerous times (e.g. Gray 1968; Lighthill 1969; Alexander 1977; Blake 1983; Fish & Hui 1991; Videler 1993; Triantafyllou, Triantafyllou & Yue 2000; Lauder & Tytell 2005; Wu 2011).”
Undulatory and oscillatory swimming (2019, background): “The associated force per unit length is called the specific lift L (Wu 2011), where L= (∂/∂t+U∂/∂x)(mV).”
Optimal Strouhal number for swimming animals (2011, background): “As pointed out by different authors (see the recent review by Wu [86], for instance), measuring the drag coefficient on swimming fishes is a difficult task and the data found in the literature are not always consistent.”
Data-driven prediction of unsteady flow over a circular cylinder using deep learning (2018, methodology): “You Owing to the existence of distinct or dominant flow features, animals such as insects, birds and fish are reported to be able to control their body movements in order to adapt their fluid dynamic environment and so improve their aero- or hydrodynamic performance and efficiency (Wu 2011; Yonehara”
