We here present some typical results on the bionic
propulsion of the underwater glider. Based on the measurements
and the modeling of the animal locomotion,
the governing parameters used in this study are chosen
as follows: the flapping frequency f = 0.3 Hz -1.0 Hz ,
the phase lag between heaving and pitching
o
0 = 30 -
110o , the heaving amplitude 0 h = 0.05C - 0.5C , the
pitching amplitude = 30o and the moving velocity
V = 0.5 m/ s -1.2 m/ s .
