Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is considered as an effective approach for analysis of fishlike swimming, which quantitatively visualizes interaction between fishes and their fluid environment. This paper proposed and developed a simulation environment for understanding fish locomotion and hydrodynamic effects during the self-propulsion in a flow field. Approximate kinetic model or/and shape description based camera observation are recommended to specify active deformation of the body. Burst-Coast swimming is analyzed as an illustration of the simulation platform.
Fish can swim swiftly in complicated flow environments, which conceives inspirations for man-made underwater vehicles. The paper concentrates on some bio-inspired strategies to enable robotic fish better adaptability within changing environments. An adaptive neural method corresponding to environment is proposed and developed with a pair of coupled neural oscillators. A parameters forecasting algorithm is also designed. On the other hand, a notional four joints robotic fish is designed to validate the effectiveness of the model. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms predict the altering kinematics parameters exactly and improved model can depict the fishs adaptable behaviors. Therefore the effectiveness is further validated for potential applications into robotic fish.
A new three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear guidance law is proposed and developed for bank-to-turn (BTT) with motion coupling. First of all, the 3D guidance model is established. In detail, the line-of-sight (LOS) rate model is established with the vector description method, and the kinematics model is divided into three terms of pitching, swerving and coupling, then by using the twist-based method, the LOS direction changing model is built for designing the guidance law with terminal angular constraints. Secondly, the 3D guidance laws are designed with Lyapunov theory, corresponding to no terminal constraints and terminal constraints, respectively. And finally, the simulation results show that the proposed guidance law can effectively satisfy the guidance precision requirements of BTT missile.
