A Performance Prediction Model for Rowing Races

A mathematical model of the forces acting on rowing boats has been developed. The model takes into account the motion of the rowers' bodies during the stroke, as well as variations in stroke rate at the beginning of a race. Hydrodynamic resistance is estimated using the 1957 ITTC line for the skin friction, an empirical formula for the form drag, and Michell's integral for the wave resistance. Leo Lazauskas.
