Book Synopsis Bio-mechanisms of Swimming and Flying by : Naomi Kato

Download or read book Bio-mechanisms of Swimming and Flying written by Naomi Kato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a wide range of animals from flagellated microorganisms to marine mammals. It follows "Bio-mechanisms of Animals in Swimming and Flying" published in 2004 including 11 chapters. This time, the book includes 31 chapters on the latest researches into natural autonomous systems and locomotion in both flying and swimming organisms. The area of sports science such as analysis and simulation of human swimming is newly added. The computational frameworks for the modeling, simulation and optimization of animals in swimming and flying demonstrate an important role in the progress of interdisciplinary work in the fields of biology and engineering.
