Tailoring the bending pattern of non-uniformly flexible pitching hydrofoils enhances propulsive efficiency

We present new measurements of non-uniformly flexible pitching foils fabricated with a rigid leading section joined to a flexible trailing section. This construction enables us to vary the bending pattern and resonance condition of the foils independently. A novel effective flexibility, defined as t...
