Abstract
Human has been developing technology with the help of animals and natural phenomena. However, there are major differences between nature and artifact comparing flying birds and swimming fishes with planes and ships. There are many things to acquire from animals and natures. The hydrodynamics of swimming fish have been studied, but there are still a lot of unclear points in swimming fish. In this paper, relation between thrust and swimming fish is researched by computing fluid dynamic.
