Prediction of passive and active drag in swimming

In order to understand the physical origin of passive resistance in swimming the resistance breakdown for a swimmer is investigated. A combination of empirical methods and theoretical analysis is used to predict passive resistance in the speed range 0 - 2 ms-1 and is shown to provide similar results...
