摘要

Fishes can swim freely in water owing to the interaction between their deforming bodies and the surrounding fluid, as is called self-propelled swimming. Besides the experimental study, the numerical simulation can provide much more details of the flow structure, hydrodynamics and energetics of fish swimming. Since the pioneering study by Carling et al. [1], numerical simulation has become the primary method to study self-propelled swimming [2-18]. In addition to the steady swimming [1-9], various swimming strategies such as burst-and-coast [10,11], turning [12,13], and fast-starts [14-17] have been studied with self-propelled simulation.
