About
Tongshi Xu is a rising researcher in the field of bio-inspired fluid dynamics and underwater propulsion, with a focus on the mechanics of fish locomotion and robotic systems. Their work centers on understanding how batoid fish—such as cownose rays—generate thrust and torque through asymmetric pectoral fin flapping, as demonstrated in their 2022 study (32 citations). Xu has also made significant contributions to pulsed jet propulsion, investigating how jet velocity profiles influence propulsive efficiency and vortex ring formation (15 citations). Their recent 2024 research explores the ground effect on the propulsion performance of cownose ray-inspired robotic fish, revealing how proximity to surfaces alters thrust and maneuverability (10 citations). With a growing portfolio of highly cited papers, Xu’s work bridges fundamental fluid mechanics and practical robotic design, offering insights for developing more efficient underwater vehicles. Their research is particularly notable for combining numerical simulations with bio-inspired engineering, making it highly relevant for students and researchers interested in aquatic locomotion, robotics, and fluid-structure interactions.
