An experimental analysis of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the monoform: a novel hull form
… measured. The model was tested in a 31 meter towing basin located at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The results are presented in Figure form in the thesis body and in numerical form in an appendix. Recommendations for future work and improvements to the instrumentation …

An experimental investigation of fluid dynamic interference forces
… have been conducted in the VPI & SU towing basin to assess the feasibility of testing fully submerged configurations, simulating aerodynamic phenomena, and in particular, measuring aerodynamic interference force between blunt bodies. Special instrumented struts were constructed and …

Hydrodynamic Study of Pisciform Locomotion with a Towed Biolocomotion Emulator
The ability of fish to deform their bodies in steady swimming action is gaining from robotic designers. While bound by the same physical laws, fish have evolved to move in ways that often outperform artificial systems in critical measures such as efficiency, agility, and stealth through thousands …
