Fish may take advantage of environmental vortices to save the cost of locomotion. The complex hydrodynamics shed from multiple physical objects may significantly affect fish refuging (holding stationary). Taking a model of a self-propelled flapping plate, we numerically studied the locomotion of the plate in wakes of two tandem cylinders. In most simulations, the plate heaves at its initial positionbefore the flow comes (releasing Style I). In the typical wake patterns, the plate may hold stationary, drift upstream, or drift downstream. The phase diagrams of these modes in theplane for the vortex shedding patterns were obtained, whereis the flapping amplitude. It is observed that the plate is able to hold stationary at multiple equilibrium locations after it is released. Meanwhile, the minimum amplitude and the input power required for the plate seem inversely proportional to the shedding vortex strength. The effect of releasing style was also investigated. If the plate keeps stationary and does not flap until the vortex shedding is fully developed (releasing Style II), then the plate is able to hold stationary at some equilibrium locations but the flapping plate has a very minor effect on the shedding vortices. However, in Style I, the released plate is able to achieve more equilibrium locations through adjusting the phase of vortex shedding. The effort of the preflapping in Style I is not in vain, because although it consumes more energy, it becomes easier to hold stationary later. The relevant mechanism is explored.
