title = "Fin drive propulsion",
abstract = "This paper presents the results of a study, which aimed to understand and evaluate the locomotion of Atlantic salmon and Arctic char under three different swimming conditions, slow, medium and fast swimming. A Fourier-series based numerical model that describes the swimming mode for each condition is represented. The numerical model is based on a video analysis of swimming fish. A video recording system was used to record the movement of two fish species under different swimming conditions in a swimming tunnel. The movements of eleven points on the fishes were tracked from the video recordings and logged. The movements of each point were then analyzed in Matlab and a 2nd degree Fourier model constructed to describe the motion.",
