Robotic Models for Studying Undulatory Locomotion in Fishes (2011, background): “This phenomenon was further demonstrated in a study using passive foils and freshly dead fish bodies to show that the passive trout body alone in a vortex wake can generate sufficient thrust to maintain position in flow (Beal et al., 2006). l”
A review of fish swimming mechanics and behaviour in altered flows (2007, background): “Consequently, dead trout towed behind a cylinder can generate thrust passively and move upstream on a slack line when the natural resonance of their flexible body allows for synchronization with vortices (Liao 2004; Beal et al. 2006).”
Optimal undulatory swimming for a single fish-like body and for a pair of interacting swimmers (2016, background): “2003b,a; Akanyeti & Liao 2013), or even generate propulsive force with no input power as evidenced by the passive propulsion of anaesthesized fish (Beal et al. 2006).”
Reinforcement Learning for Improving Agent Design (2018, background): “ne of many body components that is co-evolved together [41]. We can observe embodiment in nature by observing that many organisms exhibit complex motor skills, such as the ability to jump [6] or swim [4] even after brain death.

Biomimetic survival hydrodynamics and flow sensing (2015, methodology): “Beal et al. (2006) showed that with pressure sensors it is possible to extract net energy from a Kármán street using a flapping foil.”
Flow interactions lead to orderly formations of flapping wings in forward flight (2016, neutral): “These motions are in fact strikingly similar to those of euthanized fish in such flows [44], suggesting that passive effects play a significant role in the coherent interactions of swimming fish with periodic flows.”
Three-dimensional simulation of a flapping flag in a uniform flow (2010, background): “2003; Beal et al. 2006; Eldredge & Pisani 2008; Jia & Yin 2008; Ristroph & Zhang 2008). Hence, the study of flapping behaviour sheds light on such biological processes. Moreover, flapping dynamics is also of importance in areas such as paper engineering (Watanabe et al. 2002a,b), socio-medical condi”
Hydrodynamic effects of leading-edge tubercles on control surfaces and in flapping foil propulsion (2008, background): “[3, 13, 2] studied wake synchronization in flapping foil propulsion.”
