By imitating the jetting flow feature of shark gills，a bionic jetting model is established by arranging round outlets on a flat plate. The drag reduction effect under different jetting directions are explored using numerical simulation method when the main flow…

Swordfish is the fastest fish in the world, which can reach a high speed of 110km/h. Depending on the swing of the caudal fin, swordfish gets the power of swimming. The caudal fin of the swordfish shows crescent and wide…

The experimental system used in this study was equipped with sensors and computer-controlled processing technology. This system was used in the measurement of major performance parameters such as pressure, flux, spray angle, spray distribution character of the nozzle and its…

A team of biologists, engineers, and cognitive scientists has been working together for the past five years, teaching an upper level undergraduate course in biologically inspired design where half the class of forty students are biologists and other physical scientists…

Soil adhesion is a complicated multiple phase system influenced by many factors such as soil type, soil moisture content, contact material characteristics, working speed and external forces and environment. Adhesion of soil on the surfaces of soil-engaging components of various…
