Abstract

Open water characteristics are measured in a circulating water channel with four model pectoral fins with different bending stiffness of Coelacanth. Open efficiencies reach highest value in the range of Strouhal numbers between 0.2 and 0.4 and maximum value of open efficiency increases with reducing bending stiffenss.
