Considering the importance and dramatic increase in the use of robots and microrobots in the near future, optimizing and increasing their efficiency is very important and noteworthy. Propulsion force and translational velocity are among the most important features of the magnetic helical swimmer, which improves the function of the swimmer as each of them increases. In this paper, a new design has been proposed for the magnetic helical swimmer by changing the geometry of the tail region, which has increased the propulsion force and improved its translational velocity. A suitable experimental setup has been designed and built in accordance with the required experiments to evaluate the translational velocity of the proposed swimmer. Using the experimental results, two models have been presented to express the translational velocity and propulsion force of the swimmer in terms of its angular velocity. The results of the experiments show that the propulsion force of the built swimmer is 698.89 % higher than that of the common magnetic helical swimmer with similar dimensions and the same environmental conditions in Newtonian fluid. At the end of the experiments, the motion of the proposed swimmer is simulated in the COMSOL software, and the results of the experiments are used to validate the simulation results.

The effects of the amplitude and frequency of SOFs are studied at the mean wind speed of vortex-induced resonance. The results show that increasing the amplitude and frequency of SOFs will amplify the root mean square (RMS) along-wind and across-wind base shear forces of the aeroelastic model but decrease the RMS across-wind displacement at the top of the aeroelastic model. The spectral analysis of the base shear forces indicates that the influence of vortex shedding on the across-wind base shear force is reduced by either increasing the amplitude or increasing the frequency of SOFs. The mean and instantaneous wind fields around the aeroelastic model in SOFs and smooth flow are compared, and the wake characteristics of the aeroelastic model in SOFs are analysed by dynamic mode decomposition. It is observed that when the frequency of SOFs is 1.5 times as large as the fundamental natural frequency of the aeroelastic model, the regular vortex shedding process is substantially affected.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140137847","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}

These circuits typically make use of highly non-linear soft components to enable complex behaviors given simple inputs, such as constant flow or pressure. This approach greatly simplifies control, as it removes the need for external hardware or software. However, detailed fundamental understanding of the non-linear, coupled fluidic and mechanical behavior of these components is lacking. Such understanding is needed to guide new designs and increase the reliability of increasingly autonomous soft robots. Here, we develop an analytical model that captures the coexistence of a pressure regulation mode and an oscillatory mode in a specific soft hysteretic valve design, that we previously used to achieve reprogrammable activation patterns in soft robots. We develop a model that describes the mechanics, fluidics and dynamics of the system by two coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. The model shows good agreement with the experimental evidence, as well as correctly predicts the effect of design changes. Specifically, we experimentally show that we can remove the regulation mode at low input flow rates by changing the fluidic response of the valve. Taken together, the present study contributes to better understanding of system-level behavior of fluidic circuits for controlling soft robots. This may contribute to the reliability of soft robots with embodied control in future applications such as autonomous exploration and medical prosthetic devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0889974624000252/pdfft?md5=d0aa7ed1329f9b210d1e3a79aa5b12a8&pid=1-s2.0-S0889974624000252-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140103749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, Lagrangian models are suitable for such discontinuities and motion responses but can be computationally expensive. However, there is a lack of comprehensive discussion on the (dis)advantages of hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian models, which have the potential to achieve both numerical efficiency and flexibility through a combined use of mesh and particles. This paper presents a comparative study of a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian Particle-In-Cell (PIC) model and the widely-used OpenFOAM model, applied to a variety of complex wave interactions with floating offshore renewable energy structures in both 2D and fully 3D domains. We found that both models demonstrate good performance in simulating complex floating structures. Additionally, it is the first time that the two models have been compared in parallel on the same computing facility, allowing us to directly show their computational efficiency. The PIC model has the advantage of using staggered grids, which enables it to achieve computational efficiency comparable to the pure mesh-based OpenFOAM.

In this work, a static aeroelasticity formulation is adapted to compute wind gust loads. This static method uses aerodynamic matrices to calculate an effective angle of attack (used to recover the local pressure coefficients) from a structural deformation. The approach has been to define this deformation including unsteady effects influence in order to use the same formulation as the static case.

The fluid-structure interaction transfer matrix method (FSITMM) is regarded as an effective method for the study of these vibration characteristics. Nonetheless, there are relatively few studies concerning the theoretical basis, especially stability and orthogonality, of the FSITMM for liquid-filled piping systems. The existing studies cannot adequately address computational failure issues in models based on the FSITMM, cannot determine whether the results are credible, and even more, cannot predict whether the new models will be computationally successful. The weighted orthogonality of the eigenvectors is a necessary condition for the modal synthesis method to determine the transient (or time-domain) response of the pipeline, and the stability is crucial as it guarantees the accuracy of the solution results. In this paper, the weighted orthogonality of the modes of the FSITMM for liquid-filled piping systems is validated, the stability of this transfer matrix is examined, and enhanced by the reduced transfer matrix method. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the ability of stability validation to predict the success of computational results, while weighted orthogonality validation can determine the accuracy of computational results.
