Drafting of two passive swimmer scale models for open-water races
Bolon, B., Pretot, C., Clanet, C., Larrarte, F., Carmigniani, R.Published in Physical Review Fluids (2023)“…The interaction is quantified for a large range of relative positions and for three speeds corresponding to cruising, average, and sprint swimming. The associated computational fluid dynamics study using OpenFoam allows us to determine the relative positions that optimize the drafting during an open-water race: just behind a lead swimmer or at the level of the hip of a neighbor, with reductions of drag of 40% and 30%, respectively.…”
