A very simple model of a fishlike body can be generated by a flat plate connected via a torsional spring to a virtual body carrying the total integral quantities of mass and resistance. To simulate real fish, a tunable stiffness of the spring is essential to reproduce the swimming behaviour of these species in nature. All the above aspects of the model allow for approximate analytical solutions which are suitable for easily exploring the entire parameter space to search the best performance conditions. In addition, they may be of great help for applications in the framework of control theory. A realistic representation follows, and an interesting solution of the stride length as a function of a non-dimensional frequency is discussed. A favorable effect of the resonance region appears, showing also how the stiffness should be modified in nature, by tuning the muscular tension to maintain optimal locomotion for a given change of frequency. For a biomimetic robot, instead, a proper tool may be implemented to this purpose. The location of the maxima for the relevant output quantities is explained by a novel physical interpretation which has been obtained through a parallel investigation of the same body configuration under an oncoming uniform stream with different velocity values. The analysis identifies the role of fluid damping to shift the location of the maxima for the different quantities considered in the discussion of the results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"142 ","pages":"Article 104524"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146173754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, they are more likely to occur in the presence of background Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) winds. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated this interaction. This study provides new insights into the interaction between ABL flow and downburst winds by analyzing velocity profiles, peak values, and spatiotemporal characteristics using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. ABL and downburst winds previously reproduced in the WindEEE Dome facility are here numerically simulated with three approaches: URANS, SAS and LES. The interaction at the colliding front generates a stagnation region that slows down the Primary Vortex (PV) propagation, while significant levels of ABL entrainment into the downburst are observed. The PV at the along ABL direction is found to cause the strongest radial outflows. At these locations, a short-lived counter-rotating Secondary Vortex (SV) also develops. Although structural models are not included in the simulations, the study emphasizes the importance of accurately resolving the wind field that affects the wind loading on structures during such events. In addition to the limited amount of high-resolution full-scale data available, the present analysis contributes to advancing the knowledge of the complex dynamics of ABL-downburst interaction. The flow fields presented here are valuable as loading input conditions in structural analyses, and particularly useful for assessing fluid-structure interaction response of slender infrastructure like transmission line towers and telecommunication towers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"142 ","pages":"Article 104515"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146023842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method relies on shear stress on the solid surface for force generation. Inspired by the tank-treading responses of red blood cells and vesicles in shear flow, this swimmer features a barrel-shaped body with an open-ended chamber surrounded by a wall. The wall is made of a flexible membrane enwraping fluid inside. During operation, the body geometry remains unchanged while the membrane circulates in a tank-treading style, generating a net force through the shear stress exerted by the surrounding fluid on it. The fluid-structure interaction problem is simulated with a model based on the immersed-boundary approach and a finite-difference algorithm to solve the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. Systematic simulations have been conducted with various pipe sizes and the Reynolds number ranging from 1 to 200. The results indicate that in comparison with the performance of the swimmer in open flow, the propulsive force it generates is enhanced inside the pipe due to the hydrodynamic interaction with the inner wall of the pipe, whereas the swimming speed is reduced as a result of the increased drag. Nevertheless, since the drag increment is partially compensated by the thrust enhancement, the speed reduction inside the pipe is mitigated. It also causes minimal disturbance to the flow field. Two parameters have been used to characterize the energy efficiency of this system, the propulsive efficiency and the cost of transport. Furthermore, examination of the energy dissipation in the flow suggests that the energy efficiency of the system may be significantly improved by mitigating energy dissipation in the interior flow field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"142 ","pages":"Article 104523"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146173755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frequency- and time-domain analysis show strong agreement with experimental data, confirming its reliability in predicting platform displacements and mooring line tensions.
