SUMMARY:MEAM Master's Thesis Defense: "Investigating Jet Interactions in the Multi-Jet SALP Robot"
DESCRIPTION:Jet propulsion is a common locomotion strategy in nature. We developed an underwater particle image velocimetry (PIV) system to investigate the hydrodynamic effects of the SALP (Salp-inspired Approach to Low-energy Propulsion) robot\, a soft underwater robot that swims using jet propulsion. Multiple SALP units can be physically connected to form a multi-SALP system\, coordinating their jets to achieve different motions. This thesis explores jet interactions in the multi-SALP robot under various physical arrangements and propulsion modes. PIV analysis identified three types of interactions: interaction\, weak interaction\, and no interaction. Results show that\, compared to non-interacting jets\, interacting jets can exhibit up to a 25% reduction in average velocity. This research enables further exploration of flow-field-enhanced performance in multi-SALP systems.
