ABSTRACT
Micro-sensors, such as pressure and flow sensors, are usually adopted to attain actual fluid information around swimming biomimetic robotic fish for hydrodynamic analysis and control. However, most of the reported micro-sensors are mounted discretely on body surfaces of robotic fish and it is impossible to analyzed the hydrodynamics between the caudal fin and the fluid. In this work, a biomimetic caudal fin integrated with a resistive pressure sensor is designed and fabricated by laser machined conductive carbon fibre composites. To analyze the pressure exerted on the caudal fin during underwater oscillation, the pressure on the caudal fin is measured under different oscillating frequencies and angles. Then a model developed from Bernoulli equation indicates that the maximum pressure difference is linear to the quadratic power of the oscillating frequency and the maximum oscillating angle. The fluid disturbance generated by caudal fin oscillating increases with an increase of oscillating frequency, resulting in the decrease of the efficiency of converting the kinetic energy of the caudal fin oscillation into the pressure difference on both sides of the caudal fin. However, perhaps due to the longer stability time of the disturbed fluid, this conversion efficiency increases with the increase of the maximum oscillating angle. Additionally, the pressure variation of the caudal fin oscillating with continuous different oscillating angles is also demonstrated to be detected effectively. It is suggested that the caudal fin integrated with the pressure sensor could be used for sensing thein situflow field in real time and analyzing the hydrodynamics of biomimetic robotic fish.
