Hi Guys,

Here is a start... I am not finished -been swamped here lately and have only been able to get a good start on the first diagram. I titled this thread Lunocet Hydrodynamics because I am defining a Lunocet as a flapping foil based biomimetic monofin with high aspect ratio and resembling lunate tail swimmers found in nature... loosely... I'll pull it together more concisely than this and edit this thread tomorrow with a proper definition... I just wanted to get this out to you guys because I said it would be a day or so...

It's exciting to have this stuff on deeperblue....I think I feel a stirring in my pants.

Full respect to Ted for so openly sharing all his higher hemisphere brain work with us.

As a kid i always wanted to be a fighter pilot and although I didnt make the cut I think the next best thing might be swimming, propelled by a Lunocet

Wow. This is great. Also enjoying the Fish/Navy report. Lots of lunch-time reading. Thanks. -- Harald
