In this study, a bio-inspired gait transition method has been devised, capitalising on the Froude number-a parameter characterising the velocity at which different-sized quadrupeds alter their gaits.

RANS simulation of the flow past the KCS Container Ship with the prescribed direct motion is performed. The commercial CFD solver FLUENT is employed to compute the RANS equations. The RNG Turbulent ...

Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different hull form coefficients and parameters, and how they affect the hydrodynamic performance of a ship.

The Froude number compares gravitational and inertial forces; therefore, it is widely used in horizontal flows to characterize the degree of stratification of two-phase flows.
