Parametric modelling of a biomimetic propulsion system using additive manufacturing for autonomous underwater vehicles [Unpublished master's thesis]. Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.https://hdl.handle.net/11285/648402https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7475-8138This work presents a novel pseudorandom algorithm for generating in-silico biomimetic models of caudal fins for additive manufacturing for flexible materials. The methodology provides a tool to develop caudal fin models for different morphologies (within rounded, truncated, forked, and lunate), geometrical features and, considering randomness to improve the lifelikeness of the model. The capability of the algorithm to generate designs with customized hydrodynamic features was evaluated in-silico using computational fluid dynamics comparing the maximum velocity and the angle of attack. Numerical data shows that customization of key dimensional can be integrated into a flexible and dynamic design process. This work is a step towards reproducing more robust and lifelike engineering systems.TextoengembargoedAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0INGENIERÍA Y TECNOLOGÍA::CIENCIAS TECNOLÓGICAS::TECNOLOGÍA DE LOS ORDENADORES::DISEÑO CON AYUDA DE ORDENADORTechnologyTesis de maestríaSe busca poder publicar el documento con unos trabajos a futuro en los cuales ya se esta trabajando.Parametric ModellingAdditive ManufacturingRhino GrasshopperBiomimetic Autonomous Underwater VehicleBAUVVisual Programming LanguageVPLComputer Fluid DynamicsCFD1043747
