Hy, I'm Giacomo, an italian student... at the beginning forget my english, is very bad!!! :waterwork
I'm at the last year of my faculty and i want to write a thesis about "the hydrodinamic of the fins"... but I haven't so much material about this subject: I hope you can help me. If you have some documents, materials that treat about this subject, also in general, please e-mail me at the following address: giacombum@tiscali.it
I would discuss about the materials, the shapes but I can't experiment with fins because my thesis is a bibliographic one.
Thank you and forget my english again!!!

Giacombum, I recommend you take a look at the work already done by 2 students on the dynamics of monofins. Both papers are very thourough and you can certainly reuse and apply some of their methodology to bi-fins. Moreover they both had E.Breier on their commitee. Bifins seem more complex of a study because of the turbulences when they come close in opposite directions:
- "Swimming Monofin Optimization": http://www.emse.fr/~leriche/mao04_monofin_final.pdf
- Optimization algorithm applied to monofin swimming: http://www.emse.fr/~leriche/these_marco.pdf
