Abstract
This paper introduces a tail optimization method for robotic fish regarding to friction force decreasing. The method is based on Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). Hence the hydrodynamic model is derived, its motion directions (up, down, left and right) are analyzed and some simulation studies are done. Then results are presented and the shape and length of tail is optimized to have the minimum friction force in turning to left and right.
