Abstract
We will attempt to provide an overview on the hydrodynamics of fishlike swimming propulsion based on our recent work performed experimentally, numerically and theoretically. In the present paper, we mainly review some typical work, including measurement on kinematics of free-swimming fish and prediction of dynamics acting on an arbitrarily deformable body, numerical and experimental simulations of flow over flapping and traveling wavy bodies, and theoretical modeling and analysis on flow around a waving plate and a flapping plate.
