Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment, Volume 240, Issue 1, Page 46-59, February 2026.
The structure of the hydrofoil plays a crucial role in determining its hydrodynamic coefficients. Drawing inspiration from the swept-back morphology of fish caudal fins, this study developed two novel oscillating hydrofoil configurations: a leading-edge ...
