In this paper propulsive mechanics of the rowing was investigated with the aim to determine the relationship between oar angular speed, boat velocity and hydrodynamic of the blade. The experimental test was set up using a single seated rowing simulator that attached to a water tank. While rower rowed the boat, oar angular and boat velocity were recorded. The experiment outcome provided the relationship between oar angular and the boat velocity which then was imported as the input to the computational fluid dynamic (CFD). The hydrodynamic force obtained from the computational study representing force generation that used to accelerate the boat and illustrated fluid flow around the blade during stroke.
