Hydrodynamic Investigation of Manta Ray MotionUsing Numerical Methods, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abbaspour, Majid (Supervisor)
Abstract
The idea of using under water vehicles inspired by nature has gained considerable attention during the past few decades. This interest is due to the advantages of swimming and moving by this technique, in comparison with the conventional methods. Benefits are such as increasing speed, improved power, better manoeuvre ability,greater stability, optimal hydrodynamic performance ... etc. The purpose of this study was developing a model to simulate a stingray Manta Ray moving behaviour. Ansys- Fluent software was applied to solve the related equations of viscous laminar flow in 3-D form.Simulation of Manta Ray was performed with the flapping pectoral fin with dynamic mesh. Using this...
