Bionic design and simulation of flexible pectoral fin of labriform fish

Abstract

Labriform Mode is an important maneuvering locomotion mode which is largely applied to teleost fish. For the exploration of new maneuvering surface of underwater vehicles, study on bionic pectoral fin of Labriform Mode is of great theoretical and practical significance. However, building a set of system, which can imitate the locomotion morphology of fish pectoral fin precisely, is difficult and challenging. © 2012 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
