Journal ArticleDOI
Wake-Structure Formation of a Heaving Two-Dimensional Elliptic Airfoil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the wake-structure formation of a 2D elliptic airfoil undergoing simple harmonic heaving motion and found that the type of wake structures produced is controlled by when and how the leading edge vortices interact with the trailing-edge Vortices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of wing–wake interaction on aerodynamic force generation on a 2D flapping wing
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of wing-wake interaction on the aerodynamic force generation was investigated by carrying out simultaneous force and flow field measurements on a two-dimensional wing subjected to two different types of motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerodynamics of two-dimensional flapping wings in tandem configuration
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of phase angle and center-to-center distance (L) between the front wing and the rear wing on the aerodynamic force generation at a Reynolds number of 5000 were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the aerodynamic characteristics of hovering rigid and flexible hawkmoth-like wings
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between wing flexibility and aerodynamic force generation in flapping hovering flight was investigated. And the results from the flexible wing study, while generally supportive of the finding by Hamamoto et al. (Adv Robot 21(1-2):1-21-2007), also reveal the existence of a critical stiffness constant, below which lift coefficient deteriorates significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quasi-steady aerodynamic model for flapping flight with improved adaptability.
TL;DR: An improved quasi-steady aerodynamic model for flapping wings in hover is developed to yield rapid predictions of lift generation and efficiency during the design phase of flapping wing micro air vehicles and has the advantage of being applicable over a wider range of flow conditions without prior tuning or calibration.
