Application of Taguchi Method in the Optimization of Swimming Capability for Robotic Fish
No full textIn this paper, we applied the Taguchi method to evaluate the maximum swimming speed of a robotic fish under the limitation of the output of the motor. Four factors were considered in the optimization: the caudal-fin aspect ratio, the caudal fin stiffness, the oscillating frequency and the stiffness of the spring that transmits forces from the actuators to the foil. Because of the power limitations, the parameter's space was irregular. Since the Taguchi method requires a regular parameter space, we divided the parameter space into a regular space and the remaining irregular spaces. Within only 25 trials, the frequency and the spring stiffness were determined as the main factors in the regular space by the orthogonal design. Six more trials were carried out in the remaining irregular space with a higher frequency and spring stiffness. The fastest swimming speed of 870 mm/s, approximately 2.6 BL (Body Lengths)/s, was acquired, when the frequency reached 12Hz and with infinite spring stiffness. This method is efficient for exploring the maximum locomotor capabilities of robotic fish and may also be useful for other robots as no modelling is required

Vapor flows condensing at incidence onto a plane condensed phase in the presence of a noncondensable gas. I. Subsonic condensation
No full textThis paper is the second part of the study of a steady flow of a vapor in a half space condensing onto a plane condensed phase of the vapor at incidence in the presence of a noncondensable gas near the condensed phase. The aim of the study is to clarify the behavior of the vapor and noncondensable gas on the basis of kinetic theory under the assumption that the molecules of the noncondensable gas are mechanically identical with those of the vapor. In the first part [S. Taguchi et al., Phys. Fluids 15, 689 (2003)], the case of subsonic condensation, where the Mach number corresponding to the flow-velocity component perpendicular to the condensed phase at infinity is less than unity, is considered. In the present second part, the case of supersonic condensation is investigated in detail on the same lines as the first part
Vapor flows in the continuum limit in the presence of a small amount of noncondensable gas
No full textSteady flows of a vapor around its condensed phase of arbitrary shape, on the surface of which evaporation and condensation of the vapor may take place, are considered in the presence of a small amount of a noncondensable gas. By a systematic asymptotic analysis of the Boltzmann system, the present authors have derived the fluid-dynamic system describing such flows in the continuum limit in the case where the amount of the noncondensable gas is infinitesimal compared with that of the vapor [K. Aoki, S. Takata, and S. Taguchi, Eur. J. Mech. B/Fluids 22, 51 (2003)]. In the present study, the fluid-dynamic system is applied to some physical problems, and it is demonstrated with concrete examples that such a tiny amount of the noncondensable gas causes dramatic changes of the overall vapor flows
