Propulsive Efficiency of Rowing Oars
Is the common folklore, that oars are less efficient at propulsion than propellers, correct? Here we examine the propulsive efficiency of the oars used in competitive rowing. We take the propulsive efficiency η of rowing to be the ratio of the energetic benefit, the energy Db dissipated by boat drag, to the energetic cost, the work Wr performed by the rower. Air drag is neglected as is the ener...
متن کاملDesign Metrics for Evaluating the Propulsive Efficiency of Future Ships
There is an increasing need for the ship design process to take account of environmental issues such as the emission of greenhouse gases and the likely extension of a carbon dioxide charging mechanism to international shipping. These issues, together with the need for economic viability, provide further incentives to improve the efficiency of propulsion of ships. The main components of powering...

متن کاملSwimming dynamics and propulsive efficiency of squids throughout ontogeny.
Squids encounter vastly different flow regimes throughout ontogeny as they undergo critical morphological changes to their two locomotive systems: the fins and jet. Squid hatchlings (paralarvae) operate at low and intermediate Reynolds numbers (Re) and typically have rounded bodies, small fins, and relatively large funnel apertures, whereas juveniles and adults operate at higher Re and generall...
متن کاملPropulsive efficiency of the underwater dolphin kick in humans.
Three-dimensional fully unsteady computational fluid dynamic simulations of five Olympic-level swimmers performing the underwater dolphin kick are used to estimate the swimmer's propulsive efficiencies. These estimates are compared with those of a cetacean performing the dolphin kick. The geometries of the swimmers and the cetacean are based on laser and CT scans, respectively, and the stroke k...
