Wave-like aquatic propulsion of mono-hull marine vessels

The present paper describes the results of the experimental investigation of a small-scale mono-hull model boat propelled by a localised flexural wave propagating along the plate of finite width forming the boat’s keel. Forward propulsion of the boat was achieved through flexural wave propagation in...
