Resumo(s)
Swimming assessment is one of the most complex but outstanding and fascinating topics in biomechanics.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology is one of the different methods that have been applied in swimming
research to observe and understand water movements around the human body and its application to improve swimming
performance. CFD has been applied attempting to understand deeply the biomechanical basis of swimming. Several studies
have been conducted willing to analyze the propulsive forces produced by the propelling segments and the drag force
resisting forward motion. CFD technique can be considered as an interesting new approach for evaluation of swimming
hydrodynamic forces, according to recent evidences. In the near future, as in the present, CFD will provide valorous
arguments for defining new swimming techniques or equipments.
