...Wei Shyy biomechanics biomimetics hydrodynamics aerodynamics Natural flyers and swimmers such as birds, insects, and fish have fascinated us for centuries. There exists a substantial body of literature on animal locomotion. So far, the majority of the studies were published...

...Naomi Kato This paper reviews the studies on the kinematics, hydrodynamics, and performance of median and paired fin (MPF) in fish and biomimetic mechanical systems from the viewpoint of enhancing the propulsive and maneuvering performance of marine vehicles at low speeds. Precise maneuverability...
