The propulsive characteristics of caudal-fins of carangiform fish in cruise were investigated in an experiment on measurement of the force acting on the oscillating caudal-fin models with different shapes.The results show that the phase angle between the heaving and pitching motions has a significant influence on the magnitude and direction of the thrust on the models.When the pitch motion lags about 1/4 period behind the heaving,the thrust reaches maximum.The results also indicate that for the models with different shapes,the average thrust on each one is proportional to the product of its area and dimensionless 2th moment of the area.
