Unsteady aerofoil flows are often characterized by leading-edge vortex (LEV) shedding.
While experiments and high-order computations have contributed to our understanding of …

Drawing inspiration from insect flap** wings, a Flap** Wing Rotor (FWR) has been
developed for Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) applications. The FWR features unique active …

The suction force at the leading edge of a round-nosed aerofoil is an important indicator of
the state of the flow over the leading edge and, often, the entire aerofoil. The leading-edge …

The application of the Kutta condition to unsteady flows has been controversial over the
years, with increased research activities over the 1970s and 1980s. This dissatisfaction with …

The ability to accurately predict the forces on an aerofoil in real-time when large flow
variations occur is important for a wide range of applications such as, for example, for …

Sensing of vortex shedding in unsteady airfoil flows can be beneficial in controlling and
positively harnessing their effects for increased aerodynamic performance. The time …

This article is based on an experimental study on the aerodynamic performance of a
flap** wing rotor (FWR) and enhancement by passive pitching angle variation (PPAV) …

Inviscid vortex models have been demonstrated to capture the essential physics of
massively separated flows past aerodynamic surfaces, but they become computationally …

A leading-edge suction parameter (LESP) that is derived from potential flow theory as a
measure of suction at the airfoil leading edge is used to study initiation of leading-edge …

Inverted flags–clamped–free elastic thin plates subjected to a fluid flowing axially and
directed from the free end towards the clamped end–have been observed experimentally …
