Abstract

Biomimetics is a promising field of research in which natural processes and structures are transferred to technical applications. The lateral line is a critical component of the fish sensory system and plays an important role in many behaviors by providing hydrodynamic information about the surrounding fluid. It is believed that the artificial lateral line flow sensors (ALLFS) are advantageous for underwater applications. This paper reviews the morphology and biophysics of the lateral line, especially theoretical models of lateral line, including biomechanical model, frequency response and time domain response of lateral line. Also, this paper reviews some efforts to mimic lateral line system in recent years. In order to capture the recent research status, this paper reviews the design and fabrication of ALLFS based on different sensing principles. Further researches to develop ALLFS and their underwater applications are also discussed in this paper.
