Mechanical Study of Standard Six Beat Front Crawl Swimming by Using Swimming Human Simulation Model
There are many dynamical problems in front crawl swimming which have not been fully investigated by analytical approaches. Therefore, in this paper, standard six beat front crawl swimming is analyzed by the swimming human simulation model SWUM, which has

Impact of Crustacean Morphology on Metachronal Propulsion: A Numerical Study
Metachrony is defined as coordinated asynchronous movement throughout multiple appendages, such as the cilia of cells and swimmerets of crustaceans. Used by species of crustaceans and microscopic cells to move through fluid, the process of metachronal ...

Influence of the grain size and the fluid viscosity on the collapse of submerged sand columns [PDF]
Granular flows are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and are also used in various industrial applications. Nonetheless, they exhibit counter-intuitive behaviour as well as complex rheological behaviour, making them challenging to fully understand and model.
