Investigations of Partially Immersed Spinning Spheres in a Liquid Bath and Butterfly Flight

This thesis examines two important problems in fluid dynamics: that of a partially immersed sphere spinning in a bath of liquid and the measurement of flow velocities around a free flying butterfly. Although the actual problems are quite different, each problem incorporates many of the same principl...
