Abstract:

Most girls in Gopher Slough, Florida, worry about whether GSHS will win the next football game (they won't), when their boyfriends will take them muddin', and how many times they can sneak cigarettes behind the bleachers before they get thrown into in-school suspension. Libby Hoyer is not most girls. Instead, Libby is worried about her slipping grades, especially in Geometry, where she can barely keep her head up long enough to take the weekly quizzes. She's concerned about losing her friendship with her best (only) friend, Bobbi Jo, who's distracted with her own Aber-zombie boyfriend, and sh

Abstract:

My project started with two words: Swimming Pool. They came to me through a song, Banshee Beat by Animal Collective (2005). To me, their music is mystical, abstract, unpredictable and also metaphorical. So I started to think about if a swimming pool could be something more than just an open container filled with water. After some thinking I came to the conclusion that it could be a metaphor for something calm, quiet and dreamy. However, I’m not sure but my aim is not to get to a specific answer through this project. I’ll turn the metaphor into a textile work that portrays what you see when yo

Abstract:

Children in upper primary school who have not made progress along the Swimming and Water Safety Continuum may be at a greater risk in an aquatic environment because they have not developed the swimming competency, endurance and skills needed for survival in threatening aquatic situations. Three groups representing different socio-economic and geographical areas were selected to explore the relationships between psycho-social factors and the development of swimming ability among year seven students. Two groups from lower socio-economic areas were chosen. The first group was directly on the coas

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to study the problem of a low Reynolds number swimmer that is in very close proximity to a wall or solid boundary in a non- Newtonian fluid. We assume that it moves by propagating waves down its length in one direction, creating a thrust and therefore propelling it in the opposite direction. We model the swimmer as an infinite, inextensible waving sheet. We consider two main cases of this swimming sheet problem. In the first case, the type of wave being propagated down the length of the swimmer is specified. We compare the swimming speeds of viscoelastic shear thi

Squids are thought to have physiological and locomotive deficiencies that put them at a competitive disadvantage to fishes and exclude them from inshore, highly variable environments that are rich in nektonic fauna. However, brief squid Lolliguncula brevis may be a notable exception. Trawl surveys revealed that L. brevis, particularly juveniles <6 cm dorsal mantle length (DML), are abundant in the Chesapeake Bay, especially when salinity and water temperature are high, and tolerate a wide range of physical conditions relative to other cephalopods. L. brevis is also different from other cephalo

The propulsion of low Reynolds number swimmers has been widely studied, from the swimming sheet models of Taylor (1951), which were analogous to swimming spermatozoa, to more recent studies by Smith (2010) who coupled the boundary element method and method of regularised Stokeslets to look at cilia and flagella driven flow. While the majority of studies have investigated the propulsion and hydrodynamics of spermatozoa and bacteria, very little has been researched on bi-flagellate green algae. Employing an immersed boundary algorithm and a flexible beat pattern Fauci~(1993) constructed a model

Phytophthora infestans is a highly destructive plant pathogen and the causal agent of the potato blight disease that devastated Ireland’s potato crops in the 19th century.Today, this disease is still a serious problem, with global crop losses and spending oncontrol measures estimated to exceed £3 billion annually. A key to the success of P. infestans is the dispersal of free-swimming zoospore cells from infected plant tissue into aqueous environments. These cells are specialised infection agents that have evolved an array of tactic responses in order to locate and infect new hosts. An interest

Abstract:

A fish swims by stimulating its muscles and causing its body to "wiggle", which in turn generates the thrust required for propulsion. The relationship between the forces generated by the fish muscles and the observed pattern of movement is governed by the mechanics of the internal structure ofthe fish, and the fluid mechanics of the surrounding water. The mathematical modell ing of how fish swim involves coupling the external "biofluiddynamics" to the body's internal solid mechanics. The best-known theory for the hydrodynamics of fish swimming is Lighthill's elongated body theory (Lighthill, 1

Fluid interactions are ubiquitous in the natural world; all organisms must find strategies to generate, utilise or resist flow in order to be successful. A process fundamental to all life on earth is reproduction, which in many cases entails the swimming of sperm cells. Cell swimming arises from coupled interactions between physical and biological processes. We will focus on the effects of changing fluid rheology on microscopic swimmers, with a particular application to the study of internal mammalian fertilisation.

Abstract:

What is flagellar swimming? Cilia and flagella are whip-like cell appendages that can exhibit regular bending waves. This active process emerges from the non-equilibrium dynamics of molecular motors distributed along the length of cilia and flagella. Eukaryotic cells can possess many cilia and flagella that beat in a coordinated fashion, thus transporting fluids, as in mammalian airways or the ventricular system inside the brain. Many unicellular organisms posses just one or two flagella, rendering them microswimmers that are propelled through fluids by the flagellar beat including sperm cells

The complexity of the Navier Stokes Equations that describe the fluid coupled with large deformation elasticity equations, makes analytic attempts intractable.

The study of swimming micro-organisms has been of interest not just to biologists, but also to fluid dynamicists for over a century. As they are rarely in isolation, much interest has been focused on the study of the swimmers’ interaction with their environment. By virtue of the typically small sizes of these organisms and their swimming protocols, the characteristic Reynolds number of the motion of the fluid around them is small. Hence they reside in a Stokes flow regime where viscous forces dominate inertial effects and where far-field interactions (e.g. with nearby walls) can have a signifi

This research quantified the velocity during the swimming phase and investigated the arm symmetry using a single triaxial accelerometer in freestyle swimming. This included the data collection, analysis and feature extraction of parameters of interest. A main question related to the collection of acceleration data from several athletes in the discipline of swimming under training conditions. This involved developing and testing of suitable sensor technology for tracking the movement of the swimmer. Furthermore, after the first data was collected, more elementary questions evolved: Which data i

Abstract:

Modern competitive swimming is a highly structured, organized, codified and regulated sport. This has not always been the case. The aim of this thesis has been to examine the long-term development of competitive forms of swimming throughout the periods between the late sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. Despite some recent historical analyses, the emergence of swimming as a modern competitive sport is an under-researched topic. There are no sociological analyses relating to the development of competitive swimming and significant gaps within much historical research. This thesis has been

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the design, fabrication and analysis of a novel actuator for a fish-like swimming mini robot. The developed actuator is tested on a mini boat. The actuator relies on a novel piezoelectric ultrasonic motor, developed according to the design requirements of actuator for fish-like swimming mini robots. Developed motor is within the dimensions of 25x6x6 mm in a simple mechanical structure with simple driving circuitry compared to its predecessor. Bidirectional rotation of the motor is transformed to a flapping tail motion for underwater locomotion in a simple mechatronic str
