Abstract:
<p>This study aims: (1) to examine life skills acquired by students attending different levels of swimming courses. (2) To investigate the relation between teaching/learning methods used by swimming teachers and the level of life skills acquired. The population of this study were students who attended one of the three levels of the swimming courses in the Faculty of Physical Education /University of Jordan (n= 236). The sample of the study consisted of 142 students. Both “Life skills through swimming context scale” and “Teaching/ Learning methods in swimming context scale” were used to collect the required data. The data was analyzed using descriptive and statistical analysis. Results showed that the sample acquired the life skills through swimming context on a high level scale. Students believed that communication and self-confidence/self-esteem were the most important skills acquired (86%), followed by teamwork (85%), decision-making/responsibility (84%) and problem-solving (80%). There was a significant relation between life skills acquired and the teaching/ learning methodologies used including brainstorming, demonstration and guided practice, small groups, games and situation analysis. Therefore swimming context using the efficient participatory teaching methods proved to have a positive effect on life skills and youth development.<strong></strong></p>

Abstract:
As there are no commercially available acoustic telemetry devices for quantifying the swimming activity and activity-related metabolic expenditures of a wide range of marine species, we (i) examined the suitability of three methods (electromyography; sonomicrometry; and tail differential pressure tags (DPT)) for measuring the swimming speed of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ), and indirectly, metabolic rate (MO2) and (ii) measured the activity pattern of free-swimming cod carrying the DPT. All three methods yielded significant relationships with swim speed during a critical swimming speed (Ucrit) test. However, only the DPT was able to discern between swimming speed differences of 0.1 body lengths (BL)·s–1 and provide a strong relationship with MO2. Further, we found that free-swimming cod fitted with the DPT swam at an average speed of 0.33 BL·s–1, the speed previously reported to result in minimal cost of transport for this species. While the DPT has considerable potential for assessing the bioenergetics of marine fishes, the swimming economy of tagged Atlantic cod was lower above 0.4 BL·s–1 as compared with untagged fish, and Ucrit was reduced by 25%. These latter effects are likely related to the tag’s present size (39 g) and design.

Abstract:
Currently, the educational activity of a teacher is always facing many challenges to which teacher must respond and timely resolve. Training for an educational career starts since the first academic year and continues during all the study years within the license cycle. But the student should not be trained only at theoretical level but also to be put in the situation to apply the theoretical knowledge and skills acquired, during the traineeships. Such traineeships shall develop under the coordination of a group of experts who help the student and render him/her in the role of instructional – educational process coordinator. To this end, the group of experts benefits of a set of coaching methods that facilitates the activity during the traineeship. Those methods could not be arbitrary used but in connection to the traineeship contents and goals. All such initiative has the role to prepare the student for the educational career he/she opted for.

Abstract:
There are studies suggesting that primitive reflexes can remain active in healthy children. Formal backstroke teaching is a part of many aquatic curriculum program. Even though the links with a problem during swimming learning with retained primitive reflexes were mentioned, there are no studies about effect of different backstroke teaching methods in healthy children with residual primitive reflexes. Aim of the study is to define the effect of teaching methods for backstroke in healthy children with residual primitive reflexes. Subjects: 6-7 years old healthy children with residual primitive reflexes. Methods: A part practice backstroke teaching method for the first group (12 children) has been focused on teaching of separate components (leg kicks, arm pulls, and breathing) before fitting them together, while another 12 participants in second group learnt backstroke separate components of arm-to-leg integration before combining them together inside of cycle. After 12 weeks of practice backstroke proficiency and heart rate during maximal continuous backstroke swimming were analyzed. The obtained results show significant differences between the two groups. The results of the second group are linked with better backstroke proficiency, significantly longer swimming distance and lower heart rate during swimming.

Abstract:
To develop a methodology for predicting success in artistic swimming based on a set of morphofunctional indicators and indices, 30 schoolgirls, average age (12.00 ± 0.22), were divided into two groups. Group 1: 15 athletes, training experience 4–5 years. Group 2: 15 schoolgirls without training experience. For each participant, we determined the length and weight of the body, the circumference of the chest, vital lung capacity, and the circumference of the biceps in a tense and at rest. The Erisman index, biceps index, and the ratio of proper and actual vital lung capacity was calculated. Them, we conducted the Stange and Genchi hypoxic tests, and flexibility tests for “Split”, “Crab position”, and “Forward bend”. Prediction was conducted using the Wald test with the calculation of predictive coefficients and their informativeness. A predictive table containing results of functional tests and indices of artistic swimming athletes is developed. It includes nine criteria, which informativeness varied in the range of 395.70–31.98. The content of the prediction consists of evaluating the results, determining the appropriate predictive coefficient, and summing these coefficients before reaching one of the predictive thresholds. The conducted research allowed us to substantiate and develop a method for predicting the success of female athletes with the use of morphofunctional indicators and indices.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, we study the behavior of microscopic organisms utilizing lateral and spiral bending waves to swim in a fluid. More specifically, spermatozoa encounter different fluid environments filled with mucus, cells, hormones, and other large proteins. These networks of proteins and cells are assumed to be stationary and of low volume fraction. They act as friction, possibly preventing or enhancing forward progression of the swimmers. The flow in the medium is described as a viscous fluid with a resistance term known as a Brinkman fluid. It depends on the Darcy permeability parameter affecting the swimming patterns of the flagella. To further understand these effects we study the asymptotic swimming speeds of an infinite-length swimmer propagating planar or spiral bending waves in a Brinkman fluid. We find that, up to the second order expansion, the swimming speeds are enhanced as the resistance increases. The work to maintain the planar bending and the torque exerted on the fluid are also examined. The Stokes limits of the swimming speeds, the work and the torque are recovered as resistance goes to zero. The analytical solutions are compared with numerical results of finite-length swimmers obtained from the method of Regularized Brinkmanlets (MRB). The study gives insight on the effects of the permeability, the length and the radius of the cylinder on the performance of the swimmers. In addition, we develop a grid-free numerical method to study the bend and twist of an elastic rod immersed in a Brinkman fluid. The rod is discretized using a Kirchhoff Rod (KR) model. The linear and angular velocity of the rod are derived using the MRB. The method is validated through a couple of benchmark examples including the dynamics of an elastic rod, and the planar bending of a flagellum in a Brinkman fluid. The studies show how the permeability and stiffness coefficients affect the waveforms, the energy, and the swimming speeds of the swimmers. Also, the beating pattern of the spermatozoa flagellum depends on the intracellular concentrations of calcium ([Ca2+]). An increase of [Ca2+] is linked to hyperactivated motility. This is characterized by highly asymmetrical beating, which allows spermatozoa to reach the oocyte (egg) or navigate along the female reproductive tract. Here, we couple the [Ca2+] to the bending model of a swimmer in a Brinkman fluid. This computational framework is used to understand how internal flagellar [Ca2+] and fluid resistance in a Brinkman fluid alter swimming trajectories and flagellar bending.

Abstract:
Majority of the swimming facilities in Sweden are facing some form of renovation or total substitution. The report analyses cracks in two different public bath facilities namely Eriksdalsbadet and Enskedehallen. The text also discusses different solution strategies for cracks in concrete. The aim with this thesis is to discuss how facility managers can extend the service life of these facilities by taking measures against the crack damages. Since renovation can be expensive, it is important to study cracks early on when they appear. This thesis also emphasizes on how important it is to add resources for preventing cracks, already during casting. Resources should also be added for maintaining the basins, managing repair methods for all types of cracking problems. This thesis is more of a generalized study for cracks in concrete, however it concludes with taking a more specific approach by discussing the problems in swimming basins. Causes of cracks, different types of cracks and evolution of cracks are studied and discussed with emphasis on the structural damages that can occur. With pictures taken and analyzed from the two facilities and a visitation with a experienced concrete investigator from CBI, this thesis concludes with a decision to immediately take repair actions against cracks that are shown in the report. The report discusses two perspectives, one where the authors of the thesis discusses solutions derived from information given in the report, and the other perspective is derived from guided inspection with consultant from CBI.

Abstract:
At low Reynolds number flows, the effect of inertia becomes negligible and the fluid motion is dominated by the effect of viscous forces. Understanding of the behaviour of low Reynolds number flows underpins the prediction of the motion of microorganisms and particle sedimentation as well as the development of micro-robots that could potentially swim inside the human body to perform targeted drug/cell delivery and non-invasive microsurgery. The work in this thesis focuses on developing an understanding in the mathematical analysis of objects moving at low Reynolds numbers. A boundary element implementation of the Method of regularized Stokeslets (MRS) is applied to analyse the low Reynolds number flow field around an object of simple shape (sphere and cube). It also showed that the results obtained by a boundary element implementation for an unbounded cube, where singularities are presented in the corners of the cube, agrees with more complex solutions methods such as a GBEM and FEM.A methodology for analysing the effect of walls by locating collocation points on the surface of the walls and the object is presented. First at all, this methodology is validated with a boundary element implementation of the method of images for a sphere at different locations. Then, the method is extended when more than one wall is presented. This methodology is applied to predict the velocity filed of a cube moving in a tow tank at low Reynolds numbers for two different cases with a supporting rod similar to an experimental set-up, and without the supporting rod as in the CFD simulations based on the FVM. The results indicate a good match between CFD and the MRS, and an excellent approximation between the MRS and experimental data from PIV measurements. The drag, thrust and torque generated by helices moving at low Reynolds numbers in an unbounded medium is analysed by the resistive force theory, a slender body theory, and a boundary element method of the MRS. The results show that the resistive force theory predict accurately the drag, thrust and torque of moving helices when the resistive force coefficients are calculated from a slender body theory approximation by calculating independently the resistive force coefficients for translation and rotation, because it is observed that the resistive force coefficients depend also of the nature of motion. Moreover, the thrust generated by helices of different pitch angles is analysed calculated by a CFD numerical simulation based on the FVM and a boundary element implementation, an compared with experimental data. The results also show an excellent prediction between the boundary element implementation, the CFD results and the experimental data. Finally, a boundary element implementation of the MRS is applied to predict swimming of a biomimetic swimmer that mimics the motion of E.coli bacteria in an unbounded medium. The results are compared with the propulsive velocity and induced angular velocity measurement by recording the motion of the biomimetic swimmer in a square tank. It is observed that special care needs to be taken when the biomimetic swimmer is modelled inside the tank, as there is an apparent increment in the calculate thrust propulsion which does not represent a real situation of the biometic swimmer which propels by a power supply. However, this increment does not represent the condition of the biomimetic swimmer and a suggested methodology based on the solution from an unbounded case and when the swimmer is moving inside the tank is presented. In addition, the prediction of the free-swimming velocity for the biomimetic swimmer agrees with the results obtained by the MRS when the resistive force coefficients are calculated from a SBT implementation. The results obtained in this work have showed that a boundary element implementation of the MRS produces results comparable with more complex numerical implementations such as GBEM, FEM, FVM, and also an excellent agreement with results obtained from experimentation. Therefore, it is a suitable and easy to apply methodology to analyse the motion of swimmers at low Reynolds numbers, such as the biomimetic swimmer modelled in this work.

Abstract:
L'autopropulsion basée sur la propagation d'ondes de déformation, comme pour les poissons, pourrait être une alternative intéressante par rapport au déplacement généré par des hélices pour les bateaux et les véhicules sous-marins. La locomotion par ondulations implique une flexibilité de la structure du véhicule, dont il faut prendre en compte pour la dynamique des fluides et donc quantifier la vitesse et le rendement du déplacement. Dans cette thèse, nous avons développé une nouvelle méthode d'interaction fluide-structure (IFS) liant un solveur de dynamique de structure par éléments finis avec un solveur "vortex panel" bidimensionnel pour le couplage avec le fluide et une méthode des particules pour la résolution du sillage. Chaque composante du couplage IFS est d'abord validée indépendamment, puis nous testons le système complet dans le cadre d'une plaque flexible et bidimensionnelle en oscillation. La relation entre les paramètres cinématiques de nage et la vitesse de déplacement est reproduite et l'importance de la traînée pour cette relation est analysée avec détails. Pour modéliser le comportement d'un nageur souple, en autopropulsion, nous distribuons spatialement un moment de flexion, ce qui nous permet de faire des prédictions sur les grandeurs cinématiques de la nage. Par la suite, nous montrons qu'un moment de force rétroactif basée sur la courbure de déformation du nageur, avec un délai temporel, génère une autopropulsion différente de celle observée avec un forçage actif de moment de flexion. Nous proposons un modèle simplifié, capable à décrire le comportement du nageur avec rétroaction, pour comprendre qualitativement les phénomènes en jeux. Finalement, nous dérivons un modèle de muscle, en s'inspirant de la biologie ; et nous évaluons l'importance des différents paramètres du modèle quant à la performance d'autopropulsion. Le manuscrit de thèse se termine par l'analyse d'une plaque mince en trois dimensions, mise en oscillation pour apprécier la pertinence de la méthode tridimensionnelle "vortex panel" pour simuler la nage dans des conditions réelles
Undulatory wave-based self-propulsion like used by fish may be a suitable alternative to traditional propeller-based propulsion for underwater vehicles. The use of undulatory propulsion implies a certain degree of structural flexibility will be present, hence consideration of both fluid and structure is critical to assessing the behavior of this form of propulsion. In this thesis, a novel segregated fluid-structure interaction (FSI) coupling scheme is developed between a finite element structure solver and a 2D unsteady panel method fluid solver with discrete vortex particle wake approach. The different components of the FSI solver are validated first individually and then as a whole using the case of a flexible two-dimensional plate in pure heave. The scaling law relating input swimming variables and the resulting swimming speed is then reproduced and the importance of drag to these relations is elucidated.A self-propelled swimmer whose beam-like structure and rigid body motions are resolved is then examined under the influence of an imposed bending moment distribution. A curvature-based, delayed proprioceptive feedback is then applied to deform the self-propelled swimmer. Feedback based swimming was found to be distinct from active, imposed bending moment swimming. A simplified one degree of freedom model was found to qualitatively describe the feedback swimmer behavior. A swimmer using muscle-like elements is then assessed to determine the relative importance of different muscle properties with the aim of identifying if the non-linear behavior of muscles is beneficial to self-propulsion. Finally, a three-dimensional, thin plate in pure heave is examined with the aim of determining to what extent an 3D panel method can be used in lieu of computationally expensive viscous flow approaches self-propulsion analysis in 3D

Abstract:
In this thesis, simulations are performed to study the motion ofindividual cells in flow, focusing on the hydrodynamics of actively swimming cells likethe self-propelling microorganisms, and of passively advected objects like the red bloodcells. In particular, we develop numerical tools to address the locomotion ofmicroswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries, as well as the motion ofdeformable capsules in micro-fluidic flows. For the active movement, the squirmer is used as our model microswimmer. The finiteelement method is employed to study the influence of the viscoelasticity of fluid on theperformance of locomotion. A boundary element method is implemented to study swimmingcells inside a tube. For the passive counterpart, the deformable capsule is chosen as the modelcell. An accelerated boundary integral method code is developed to solve thefluid-structure interaction, and a global spectral method is incorporated to handle theevolving cell surface and its corresponding membrane dynamics. We study the locomotion of a neutral squirmer with anemphasis on the change of swimming kinematics, energetics, and flowdisturbance from Newtonian to viscoelastic fluid. We also examine the dynamics of differentswimming gaits resulting in different patterns of polymer deformation, as well as theirinfluence on the swimming performance. We correlate the change of swimming speed withthe extensional viscosity and that of power consumption with the phase delay of viscoelasticfluids. Moreover, we utilise the boundary element method to simulate the swimming cells in astraight and torus-like bent tube, where the tube radius is a few times the cell radius. Weinvestigate the effect of tube confinement to the swimming speed and power consumption. Weanalyse the motions of squirmers with different gaits, which significantly affect thestability of the motion. Helical trajectories are produced for a neutralsquirmer swimming, in qualitative agreement with experimental observations, which can beexplained by hydrodynamic interactions alone. We perform simulations of a deformable capsule in micro-fluidic flows. We look atthe trajectory and deformation of a capsule through a channel/duct with a corner. Thevelocity of capsule displays an overshoot as passing around the corner, indicating apparentviscoelasticity induced by the interaction between the deformable membrane and viscousflow. A curved corner is found to deform the capsule less than the straight one. In addition, we propose a new cell sorting device based on the deformability of cells. Weintroduce carefully-designed geometric features into the flow to excite thehydrodynamic interactions between the cell and device. This interaction varies andclosely depends on the cell deformability, the resultant difference scatters the cellsonto different trajectories. Our high-fidelity computations show that the new strategy achievesa clear and robust separation of cells. We finally investigate the motion of capsule in awall-bounded oscillating shear flow, to understand the effect of physiological pulsation to thedeformation and lateral migration of cells. We observe the lateral migration velocity of a cellvaries non-monotonically with its deformability.

Abstract:
Abstract As technology advances and enables us to design and realize complex systems using new materials and manufacturing methods, biologically inspired robots in every aspect of engineering have attracted much attention in the last few decades. This paper presents the design and motion analysis of monolithically designed two compliant swimming robots that are actuated and controlled by single motor. Each design incorporates large deflecting compliant members and rigid levers to transfer the input torque to the different parts on the mechanism. While the first design integrates flexible tail to perform swimming motion, the second design adopts snapping type motion for the same action. Both mechanisms are 3D printed and tested for forward motion. The first robot has a constant speed of 0.68 BL/s while the second has an average speed of 0.6 BL/s. Kinematic model using pseudo rigid body modeling (PRBM) is derived to calculate the load-deflection curves of the flexible tail for Design I, finite element analysis for deflection analysis are performed for Design II.

Abstract:
Zebrafish is becoming an important animal model in pre-clinical studies for its genetic similarity to humans and ease of use in the laboratory. In recent years, animal experimentation has faced several ethical issues, calling for alternative methods that capitalize on dynamical systems theory. Here, we propose a computational modeling framework to simulate zebrafish swimming in three dimensions (3D) in the form of a coupled system of stochastic differential equations. The model is capable of reproducing the burst-and-coast swimming style of zebrafish, speed modulation, and avoidance of tank boundaries. Model parameters are calibrated on an experimental dataset of zebrafish swimming in 3D and validated by comparing established behavioral measures obtained from both synthetic and experimental data. We show that the model is capable of accurately predicting fish locomotion in terms of the swimming speed and number of entries in different sections of the tank. The proposed model lays the foundations for in-silico experiments of zebrafish neurobehavioral research.

Abstract:
Abstract As we try and understand more about the oceans and the creatures that inhabit them, the need for effective modes of aquatic transportation becomes abundantly clear. Taking a step back from traditional propeller-based systems, we look toward nature and the millions of years of natural selection to find inspiration. The successful designs that have prospered vary greatly from creature to creature depending on their lifestyle. From rays to jellyfish, the propulsion methods used are tailored for a specific purpose. Considering the vastness of the oceans and our desire to explore them, a quick and efficient mode of locomotion would be well suited for this task. A great example of this type of swimmer can be found within the genus Thunnus. Tuna rely on a lift-based propulsion system classified as thunniform swimming. The majority of thrust from this propulsion method is derived from the caudal fin and part of the tail. As the tail sweeps through the water, interesting vortex structures are shed from the trailing edge of the lunate fin. Along with velocity components that travel parallel to the movement of the fish, two separate vortices are shed from the top and bottom inner surfaces of the caudal fin and meet at the lengthwise center axis of the fish. These can be best visualized from the flow velocity components analyzed within a plane just behind the caudal fin and perpendicular to the body length axis. Over time, a reverse Karman vortex street is formed from the combination of vortices from multiple tail beats. A robotic tuna and CFD model were created with the minimum number of joints to approximate thunniform swimming. A modified scotch yoke mechanism was used to convert uniform rotation of a brushless DC motor to oscillatory motion that mimics the tail of a tuna. A servo is mounted on the tail to provide an adjustable angle of attack for the caudal fin. The dynamic CFD model of the tuna employs overset meshing techniques created in ICEM CFD 18.2 and is simulated within ANSYS Fluent 18.2. The model is actuated at the start of the tail and the base of the fin to represent thunniform swimming. The body of the tuna is held static as steady flow is passed around the model. The flow velocity was chosen as an approximation of the speed of a tuna of comparable size and tail-beat frequency.

Abstract:
Significant financial and environmental consequences often result from line leakage of oil product pipelines. Product can escape into the surrounding soil as even the smallest leak can lead to rupture of the pipeline. From a health perspective, water supplies may be tainted by oil migrating into aquifers. A joint academic-industry research initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has lead to the development and refinement of a free-swimming tool called SmartBall®, which is capable of detecting leaks as small as 0.03 gpm in oil product pipelines. The tool swims through the pipeline being assessed and produces results at significantly reduced cost to the end user compared to current leak detection methods. GPS synchronized GIS-based above ground loggers capture low frequency acoustic signatures and digitally log the passage of the tool through a pipeline. This paper presents the development, laboratory and field validation testing of the SmartBall for oil pipeline integrity.
