Effect of angle of attack profiles in flapping foil propulsion (2004, background): “Comparing our results directly to Read et al. (2003), we see similar thrust coefficients and slightly lower efficiencies over the whole test matrix.”
Fish locomotion: kinematics and hydrodynamics of flexible foil-like fins (2007, background): “foils by Read et al. (2003) , computations of foil thrust coefficients by Dong et al. (2006) and Guglielmini and Blondeaux (2004), all show a time of net drag at stroke reversal.”
Optimal Strouhal number for swimming animals (2011, background): “In parallel, experiments have been carried out by the same group [2, 54, 59, 65] with rigid airfoils submitted to harmonic flapping, confirming that maximum efficiency could be reached in the same interval.”
Unsteady force generation and vortex dynamics of pitching and plunging aerofoils (2012, unknown): “[28] expanded the work by performing a series of experiments with different airfoil kinematics with the effective angle of attack profiles consisting of a square wave, a symmetric sawtooth wave, a cosine wave, and sinusoidal wave plunge motion.”
Optimal undulatory swimming for a single fish-like body and for a pair of interacting swimmers (2016, background): “For rigid flapping foils, the parameters that characterize the motion and its performance have been extensively studied (Anderson et al. 1998; Read et al. 2003)).”
Passive propulsion in vortex wakes (2006, methodology): “The steady-state amplitudes and forces were low, relative to the tests performed by Read et al. (2003), reaching an average heave amplitude hf /D = 0.139 ± 0.017 and pitch amplitude θo = 0.107 ± 0.021 rad.”
Hydrodynamic effects of leading-edge tubercles on control surfaces and in flapping foil propulsion (2008, background): “[22, 23] measured the forces on a harmonically heaving and pitching foil to determine its thrust production and efficiency characteristics.”
Hydrodynamics of Undulatory Propulsion (2005, background): “Typically, thrust increases with increasing St, but eYciency peaks near 0.3 (Read et al., 2003), which is the value for most swimming fishes.”
Flapping flight for biomimetic robotic insects: part II-flight control design (2006, result): “Similar considerations has also been observed also in fish-like swimming [49], where the modulation of few fin kinematic parameters can generate large torques and forces.”
