Coherent structures in interacting vortex rings
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-02-21)
We investigate experimentally the nonlinear structures that develop from interacting vortex rings induced by a sinusoidally oscillating ellipsoidal disk in fluid at rest. We vary the scaled amplitude or Keulegan-Carpenter ...
Horizontal locomotion of a vertically flapping oblate spheroid
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018-04-10)
We consider the self-induced motions of three-dimensional oblate spheroids of density $\rho_s$ with varying aspect ratios $AR=b/c \leq 1$, where $b$ and $c$ are the spheroids' centre-pole radius and centre-equator radius ...
