Computational Fluid Dynamics
I recommend that before visiting this site on the Computational Fluid Dynamics of surf fins, you eat a couple of asprin and come back to your computer. There are some very interesting animations of velocity zones, flow trajectories and assorted other images and video for both single and tri fins that have the potential to give you a mind numbing sort of headache.

single fin velocity isosurface is my favorite. didn’t even need the asprin– i can handle it! ;)

This type of stuff would have made me pay more atention in physics.

WE WANT TO SEE THE BONZER 5 VS THE THRUSTER AND THEN THE SPEED DIALER . THE B5 AND THE S DIALER
ARE PROBABLY THE TWO SPEEDIEST FIN DESIGNS OUT THERE………RIGHT?

…warm jet, dont forget the “SINGLE TWIN”…
…one fin (larger and more vertical) than the average one that you see on thrusters, with an stabilizer behind (in line), but with a thruster shape (I mean modern contemporary one)…
…I d using this stuff for about 3 years or more I dont remember, I think in late 97 or early 98…
…superb design for hollow waves, and for landing after a floater or something (like the Bonzers), they dont “stop and then go” like an average thruster…

ooof, you know, some of those grapics would make a cool tshirt…

There is a thread on this at sways, I should have posted along with this… can´t find it now as i´m not on my box.
