The hydrodynamic study of the swimming gliding: a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis

Nowadays the underwater gliding after the starts and the turns plays a major role in the overall swimming performance. Hence, minimizing hydrodynamic drag during the underwater phases should be a main aim during swimming. Indeed, there are several postures that swimmers can assume during the underwa...
