Manu Jumping

Written by

Illustration showing different stages of a manu jump. Text reads: "We hypothesize that to create a large splash, two things are important: 1. V-angle at water entry 2. Underwater body movement."

Composite image of Manubot that opens early (left), not at all (center), and on-time (right). The splashes increase in size from left to right.

At higher impact velocities, the 45-degree V-shape has the deepest pinch-off and thus the largest splash.
