3D hydrodynamic analysis of a biomimetic robot fish

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamic simulation of a biomimetic robot fish. Fluent and user-defined function (UDF) is used to define the movement of the robot fish and the Dynamic Mesh is used to mimic the fish swimming in water. Hydrodynamic analysis is done in this paper too. The aim of this study is to get comparative data about hydrodynamic properties of those guidelines to improve the design, remote control and flexibility of the underwater robot fish.
