DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The world of competitive swimming is dynamic. Swimmer
 s today are bigger\, stronger and faster than they ever have been. The tra
 ining regimen of an elite athlete includes not only endless practice of hi
 s or her skills\, but also a carefully planned diet\, strength and enduran
 ce training\, and hours of mental preparation. Within this framework\, we 
 have teamed with USA Swimming to develop advanced\, fluid dynamics based t
 raining and analysis tools for current and future Olympic swimmers. The fo
 cus of this presentation will be on the objectives\, methodologies and out
 comes of measurements of flow around swimmers. Movies of PIV flow measurem
 ents and time resolved force measurements around swimmers\, including Beth
  Botsford and Megan Jendrick\, 1996 and 2000 Gold Medalists in the 100 met
 er back and 100 meter breast\, respectively\, will be presented. Work with
  Ariana Kukors\, 2012 Olympian\, 2009 World Championships gold medalist an
 d world record holder in the 200 IM. In addition\, the measurement techniq
 ue has recently been applied to dolphins. Data from those experiments will
  be shown as well.  \n\nBiographical Sketch: Timothy (Tim) Wei is the Rich
 ard L. McNeel Professor and Dean of Engineering at the University of Nebra
 ska – Lincoln. Prof. Wei received a B.S. from Cornell in 1980 and an M.S
 . from Lehigh in 1982\, both in Mechanical Engineering. In 1987\, he was a
 warded a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Michigan. After a brief Post-
 doctoral appointment at Michigan\, Prof. Wei joined the faculty of Mechani
 cal & Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers in 1987. In 2006\, Prof. Wei joined
  RPI as Head of Mechanical\, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering. He moved t
 o the Nebraska in 2011 to become the Dean of Engineering. Prof. Wei has he
 ld visiting faculty appointments at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (Card
 erock\, MD)\, MIT and the Tampere University of Technology (Tampere\, Finl
 and). He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers\, Ins
 titution for Mechanical Engineering and the American Physical Society. Pro
 f. Wei’s research interests lie in coupling fundamental fluid dynamics e
 xperiments with critically important technologies. One of his favorite pro
 jects has been making flow measurements around elite swimmers through a co
 llaboration with the US Olympic Swimming Movement.
