Abstract The flapping foils with appropriate locomotion inspired by the high-aspect-ratio appendages from natural
animals promise a new technical solution for the propulsion of both aircrafts and marine vehicles. The
artificial devices using such a novel thrust system are possibly placed in a stratified flow due to the fact that
the stratification is ubiquitous throughout real-world environment. Based on a series of two-dimensional
numerical simulations, the propulsive performance and wake structure of a fully-activated flapping foil in a
density stratified fluid are investigated in this work. It is found that the hydrodynamic characteristics of
flapping foils in the stratified flow show… More >
