| Description: |
The winning time-margins are progressively being reduced
with the integration of advanced technologies in all
competitive sports. Nevertheless, the time margin can be
further decreased by applying aero/hydrodynamic
knowledge. For example, in cycling, swimming, skiing and
speed skating athletes used biological power to overcome
drag generated by air and water.
Minimisation/optimisation in aero/hydrodynamic drag can
significantly improve an athlete’s performance.
Similarly, the optimisation of shape and surface design
of sports balls and projectiles can ultimately enhance
athlete’s overall performance in competitive sports.
The basic aerodynamic and hydrodynamic principles that
govern most speed sports will be covered in this short
course. Each concept applied to a wide variety of
individual sports, demonstrating how surface textures,
form and shape of the equipment or athlete govern speed
and motion and ultimate performance will be dealt with.
The effects of these specific mechanisms on the behaviour
and performance of sports equipment and athletes will be
elaborated. The aerodynamics and hydrodynamics of several
different sports will be discussed with the help of
recent wind tunnel measurements, computational modelling
and theoretical analyses.
The course will be delivered by an internationally
acclaimed academic, researcher and practitioner with
proven knowledge, experience, and demonstrable ability in
teaching, consultancy, research, and training in the
field of Sports Engineering and Sports Technology.
