The research is an investigation of dolphin boundary layer                 characteristics and deals with the Gray's paradox.  In the field of             cetacean hydrodynamics, the boundary layer of an actively propulsing            dolphin is studied using flow visualization techniques.  By observing           the flow and the skin surface motion and contour, it may be possible            to determine the precise nature of an interaction between the fluid             and the skin.  It would also be possible to determine the extent of a           transition region and location of a point of separation.  This                  experimental approach is necessary due to the complexity of the flow            field about the dolphin--a flow field characterized by three-                   dimensional, unsteady motion.  Modelling of three-dimensional flows             over a body with moving boundaries is done to assist in the                     theoretical approach.                                                                This project is one supported under the Creativity Awards for              Undergraduate Engineering Students.
