Morphological antipredator adaptations in water fleas
… sinking in glycerine, were used to estimate body drag and energy consumption in Bosmina. Eubosmina longispina, with a low carapace and short antennules, and Eubosmina coregoni gibbera, with a very high carapace and long antennules, were examined. At 5○C, E. c. gibbera had 32-45 % higher body …

Modeling and control of a biorobotic autonomous underwater vehicle
… weight and buoyancy), hydrodynamic damping (body drag), added mass, coriolis forces and the net forces and moments due to the motion of the six flapping foils. The instantaneous model of the flapping foil consists of an analytical model of the angle of attack with respect to the free stream …

Effect of End-Plate Tabs on Drag Reduction of a 3D Bluff Body with a Blunt Base
… involves the experimental testing of a bluff body with a blunt base to evaluate the effectiveness of end-plate tabs in reducing drag. The bluff body is fitted with interchangeable end plates; one plate is flush with the rest of the exterior and the other plate has small tabs protruding …

Quantification and mitigation of segregation in the handling of alumina in aluminium production
… well with the measured values. A single particle drag model was tried, but dismissed after calculating the maximum possible capacity for known tubes and finding the predictions to be unrealistically low. A new approach was introduced, modelling the fall of the powder in a continuous layer along …
