    • Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow 

      Hover, F. S.; Techet, A. H.; Triantafyllou, M.S. (Cambridge University Press, 1998)
      Forces are measured at both ends of rigid cylinders with span 60 cm, performing transverse oscillations within an oncoming stream of water, at Reynolds number Re ~3800. Forced harmonic motions and free vibrations of ...

    • Oscillating foils of high propulsive efficiency 

      Anderson, J. M.; Streitlien, K.; Barrett, D.S.; Triantafyllou, M.S. (Cambridge University Press, 1998)
      Thrust-producing harmonically oscillating foils are studied through force and power measurements, as well as visualization data, to classify the principal characteristics of the flow around and in the wake of the foil. ...
