According to numerous studies, rowing performance is influenced by several factors
including rower's biomechanics, rower's physiology, the force generated and stroke style …

Excellent through‐plane thermally conductive composites are highly demanded for efficient
heat dissipation. Giant sheets have large crystalline domain and significantly reduce …

The unsteady force response of an accelerating flat plate, subjected to controlled spanwise
bending, is investigated experimentally. The flat plate was held normal to the flow (at an …

The accelerating flat plate is a useful model for studying the drag-based flapping flight
(where drag is used to provide the weight-supporting force or thrust). Previous studies have …

Scientists have long theorized that the cheetah's tail contributes to its impressive
maneuvrability at high speeds by stabilizing its body. This has inspired the design of several …

Normally, small unmanned vessels used to clean floating litter on water adopt a paddle
wheel as a propulsor to satisfy its shallow-draft requirements; however, this type of propulsor …

Fin stabilizers have been widely used to reduce the roll motion of ships at medium-high
velocities. However, the anti-rolling efficiency of the traditional fin declines rapidly as the …

Free surface waves were generated by a submerged moving body in a towing tank using a
numerical and a physical towing tank. Unlike a circulating water channel, a towing tank …

Research on low-impact, low capital-cost hydropower is increasing as efforts to decarbonise
energy systems accelerate. The in-stream water wheel can potentially aid in this …

As global efforts to decarbonise industries continue, there is increasing pressure to identify
and proliferate sustainable methods of generating electricity, in-line with the United Nations' …
