Abstract

The exploration of the ocean is inseparable from the development of Underwater robots. However, the energy barrier of a single underwater robot is particularly serious, which limits the endurance and application of underwater robots. Some studies believe that the swimming efficiency of fish is higher than that of propeller, which gives inspiration to the propeller design of underwater robot. Therefore, we propose a three-dimensional self-propelled bionic ray fluid structure coupling model, and use Fluent to complete the calculation. The pressure contour and the change of vortex structure in the self propulsion cycle are analyzed, and the movement of high pressure center and the fuse of tail vortex structure is discussed.
