    • Vortical patterns behind a tapered cylinder oscillating transversely 

      Techet, A. H.; Hover, F. S.; Triantafyllou, M.S. (Cambridge University Press, 1998)
      Visualization studies of the flow behind an oscillating tapered cylinder are performed at Reynolds numbers from 400 to 1500. The cylinder has taper ratio 40:1 and is moving at constant forward speed U while being forced ...

    • 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. ...

    • Active Vorticity Control in a Shear Flow Using a Flapping Foil 

      Gopalkrishnan, R.; Triantafyllou, M.S.; Triantafyllou, G.S.; Barrett, D.S. (Cambridge University Press, 1994)
      It is shown experimentally that free shear flows can be substantially altered through direct control of the large coherent vortices present in the flow.
