Lecture

Hydrodynamics of Rowing

Description

This lecture covers the hydrodynamics of rowing, focusing on the kinematics and forces involved in propulsion. It discusses the pressure distribution, vorticity, and force decomposition in rowing, as well as the efficiency and optimization of blade angle. The instructor presents field tests, visualizations, and conclusions from studies on rowing efficiency and added mass. The lecture also explores the construction of a rowing robot and the starting rowing stroke. Various aspects of rowing performance, such as force measurements, drag coefficients, and vorticity patterns, are analyzed and discussed.
