    • Active Vorticity Control in a Shear Flow Using a Flapping Foil 

      Gopalkrishnan, R.; Triantafyllou, M.S.; Triantafyllou, G.S.; Barrett, D.S. (Cambridge University Press, 1994)
      It is shown experimentally that free shear flows can be substantially altered through direct control of the large coherent vortices present in the flow.

    • Design and Projected Performance of a Flapping Foil AUV 

      Licht, Stephen; Polidoro, Victor; Flores, Melissa; Hover, Franz S.; Triantafyllou, Michael S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 2004-07)
      The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as the sole source of motive power for ...

    • Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils 

      Triantafyllou, Michael S.; Techet, Alexandra H.; Hover, Franz S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 2004-07)
      Significant progress has been made in understanding some of the basic mechanisms of force production and flow manipulation in oscillating foils for underwater use. Biomimetic observations, however, show that there is a ...
