Blind river dolphin: first side-swimming cetacean.
The blind river dolphin (Platanista gangetica), first written about by Pliny the Elder in A.D. 72, was found (10 November 1968) to be the first known side-swimming cetacean. The rudimentary eye lacks the lens, but anatomical evidence suggests that the eye may serve as a light sensor. The underwater sound emissions of this species, although similar to those of the Amazon River dolphin (Inia geof...
متن کاملAnalysis on Swimming Behavior of Dolphin with Artificial Tail Flukes
Dolphins have high propulsion and maneuvering performances. Dolphin’s tail flukes play an important role to generate propulsive force. We paid attention to a dolphin that lost most part of its tail flukes by disease kept in an aquarium, Okinawa, Japan. The dolphin could swim by attaching artificial tail flukes as well as a normal dolphin. The objective of this study is to discuss the effectiven...
متن کاملNumerical and experimental investigations of human swimming motions
This paper reviews unsteady flow conditions in human swimming and identifies the limitations and future potential of the current methods of analysing unsteady flow. The capability of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been extended from approaches assuming steady-state conditions to consideration of unsteady/transient conditions associated with the body motion of a swimmer. However, to pred...
متن کاملDolphin-like Swimming Modeling for a Biomimetic Amphibious Robot ⋆
Abstract: This paper focuses on a dolphin-like swimming hydrodynamics problem for a biomimetic amphibious robot capable of both fishand dolphin-like swimming modes. A Lagrangian reduction has been established in terms of rigid-body dynamics. For robust gait control, a central pattern generator-based approach is incorporated into the model serving as explicit joint angle control. Consequently, a...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of flow hydrodynamic around dolphin body in viscous fluid
The biomimetic and hydrodynamic study of aquatic animals is one of the most challenging computational fluid dynamics topics in recent studies due to the complexity of body geometry and the type of flow field. The movement of the aquatic body, and particularly the tail section and the corresponding movement of fluid around the body, causes an unsteady flow and requires a comprehensive study of t...
