Mastering the Manu – How humans create large splashes

2024-12-04

Abstract excerpt

Manu jumping, a popular water diving style amongst Māori people in New Zealand, focuses on creating large splashes. Divers perform aerial maneuvers such as the “utkatasana” pose, entering the water in a V-shape, and executing underwater maneuvers to maximize the splash size. Our study explores the underlying fluid dynamics of Manu jumping and demonstrates how two key parameters, the V-angle and the timing of body...
