Author(s): A. Davide Vettori; Vladimir Nikora

Linked Author(s): Vladimir Nikora

Keywords: Seaweed blades; Physical models; Drag coefficient; Hydrodynamic performance

Abstract: Seaweed blades and seaweed blade physical models designed following a similarity theory were tested in a flume facility. The measured drag coefficient of physical models is found to be significantly biased low compared to that of natural seaweed blades.
