Abstract: A method of complex orthogonal decomposition is summarized for the timedomain, and then formulated and justified for application in the frequencydomain. The method is then applied to the extraction of modes from simulation ...

Abstract: The kinematics of the transverse motion of a swimming fish are analyzed using a complex modal decomposition. Cinematographic images of a swimming whiting (Gadus merlangus) were obtained from the work of Sir James Gray ...

Abstract: The complex orthogonal decomposition (COD), a process of extracting complex modes from complex ensemble data, is summarized, as is the use of complex modal coordinates. A brief assessment is made on how small levels of ...
