• The fish ability to accelerate and suddenly turn in fast maneuvers 

      Paniccia, Damiano; Graziani, Giorgio; Lugni, Claudio; Piva, Renzo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Velocity burst and quick turning are performed by fish during fast maneuvers which might be essential to their survival along pray–predator encounters. The parameters to evaluate these truly unsteady motions are totally ...
    • How Free Swimming Fosters the Locomotion of a Purely Oscillating Fish-like Body 

      Paniccia, Damiano; Padovani, Luca; Graziani, Giorgio; Lugni, Claudio; Piva, Renzo (Journal article, 2023)
      The recoil motions in free swimming, given by lateral and angular rigid motions due to the interaction with the surrounding water, are of great importance for a correct evaluation of both the forward locomotion speed and ...
    • The relevance of recoil and free swimming in aquatic locomotion 

      Paniccia, Damiano; Graziani, G.; Lugni, Claudio; Piva, Renzo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The study of the free swimming of undulating bodies in an otherwise quiescent fluid has always encountered serious difficulties for several reasons. When considering the full system, given by the body and the unbounded ...
