摘要

The locomotion of fish and aquatic animals is achieved by the oscillation of fins and flukes, which creates highly three-dimensional, unsteady flow fields that are not yet well-understood. The principal non-dimensional parameter presently used to describe these flows is the Strouhal number, St = fA/U, which depends on the frequency of oscillation ( f), the width of the wake (A), and the freestream velocity (U). In previous work on two-dimensional foils, wake structure and thrust performance have been shown to scale with this parameter, but it does not include considerations of three-dimensionality, which become important in the study of low-aspect ratio propulsors. In the current work, a new nondimensional scaling parameter is proposed which, for a rigid rectangular pitching panel, collapses measurements of pressure, thrust, and circulation when plotted again Strouhal number.;Dye flow visualization and Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) were used to investigate the wakes of rigid pitching panels with a trapezoidal panel geometry, chosen to model idealized fish caudal fins. A Lagrangian Coherent Structure (LCS) analysis was employed to investigate the formation and evolution of the panel wake. The LCS analysis, based on calculations of the Direct Lyapunov Exponent (DLE) has several advantages over Eulerian methods, including greater detail and the ability to define structure boundaries without relying on a preselected threshold. A bifurcation of the LCS structure in the wake of the trapezoidal pitching panels coincided with an observed transition of the wake structure. Also, the LCS analysis provided evidence of the "trapping" of vortices on trapezoidal panel surfaces with low sweep angles or at low Strouhal numbers.
