The dynamic flow behaviour of an oar blade in motion using a hydrodynamics-based shell-velocity-coupled model of a rowing stroke
Abstract
The flow around a rowing oar blade during a stroke is highly complex owing to the proximity of the water surface and the rapidly changing blade flow incidence (here, greater than 180° in under 0.75s). This flow is simulated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with a rotating subdomain for blade rotation coupled to a model of the shell velocity. Based on the shell velocity and a specified oar angular velocity, the CFD model …
