These are animations of
a three-link mechanism swimming in a potential flow due to shape
changes. To generate these animations, we considered a massless
three-link body submerged in an ideal, incompressible fluid and asked
the question: "starting from rest, can the three-link propel itself in
a potential flow by controlling its shape variables (i.e., relative
angles) only?
