NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF LURE MOVING IN WATER

The motion of a lure in water is investigated experimentally and numerically. The lure motion in water of a passing water tank is observed, and the periodic motion is/ound. From the Fourier analysis, it is found that the frequency with the largest amplitude in the lateral direction depends on the lip width of the lure. To understand the lure dynamics, a numerical simulation of the flow field around the lure is performed. The shape is measured using an X-ray computer tomography and converted into a voxel model. From visualization, it is found that vortex sheds from its lip correspond to the vibration frequency of the lure.
