Can Lighthill's elongated body theory predict hydrodynamic forces in underwater undulatory swimming?

Underwater Undulatory Swimming (UUS) is an area of continuing development in elite swimming. The propulsive forces generated during UUS are investigated experimentally, during an over-speed tow, and numerically using Elongated Body Theory (EBT), developed initially for fish locomotion. Two-dimension...
