Power Scaling of Radial Outflow: Bernoulli Pads in Equilibrium
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A Bernoulli pad uses an axial jet to produce radial outflow between the pad and a proximally located parallel surface. The flow field produces a force between the surfaces, which depends upon their spacing h. The direction ...
Underwater Propulsion Using Forced Excitation of a Flexible Beam
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aquatic animals commonly oscillate their fins, tails, or other structures to propel and control themselves in water. These elements are not perfectly rigid, so the interplay between their stiffness and the fluid loading ...
