Wind Tunnel Study of the Forces Due to Drafting in Dolphin Mother-Calf pairs
preprint
OA: closed
Abstract
Cetacean calves can get assistance in rapid swimming by drafting with the mothers. The hydrodynamic forces produced have been predicted to enable reducing the drag on the calf Using models in a wind tunnel, the similarity between motion in the air and submerged swimming is used to produce quantitative data on the reduction of drag due to drafting in accordance with the theoretical predictions.
