There has been substantial interest in the mechanisms underpinning the skilled movements
of on-water rowing for more than 150 years. Contemporary attention from biomechanical …

On-chip network is becoming critical to the scalability of future many-core architectures.
Recently, nanophotonics has been proposed for on-chip networks because of its low latency …

This paper reviews the fluid dynamic mechanisms that are fundamental to the rowing stroke.
Complex interactions occur between the oar blade and water, and over the last 30 years our …

Given a sequence of poses of a body we study the motion resulting when the body is
immersed in a (possibly) moving, incompressible medium. With the poses given, say, by an …

Empirical observations support that the addition of a plastic strip–also known as Randall
foils–on the top edge of a rowing blade improves rowing efficiency during the cycle …

Efficient rowing requires both physical and technical abilities of the human. Teaching and
learning of the technical abilities is thereby mainly restricted to on‐water training. The aim of …

We present results on the drag on, and the flow field around, a submerged rectangular
normal flat plate, which is uniformly accelerated to a constant target velocity along a straight …

The graphical presentation of the propulsive force applied at the pin plotted relative to the
horizontal angle of the oar has been used practically in on‐water rowing for the qualitative …

In each rowing sport (rowing, kayaking, canoeing), the oars have their very own
characteristics most of the time selected through a long time experience. Here we focus on …

The aim of the present study was to find a more optimal blade design for rowing
performance than the Big Blade, which has been shown to be less than optimal for …
