Gusts of moderate and large magnitude induce flow separation and other complexities when
they interact with the lifting surfaces of air vehicles. The presence of these nonlinear gusts …

There is a growing desire to operate Uncrewed Air Vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments
for parcel delivery, and passenger-carrying air taxis for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). The …

Dynamic stall has been a technical challenge and a fluid dynamical subject of interest for
more than fifty years; but in the last decade significant advances have been made in the …

We present a publicly accessible database specifically designed to aid in the conception,
training, demonstration, evaluation, and comparison of reduced-complexity models for fluid …

This paper presents a framework for the estimated state regulation of the lift force for a
maneuvering wing during a transverse gust encounter. An expression for the effective angle …

A large variety of gusts that develop in the atmospheric boundary layer affect aerial vehicles.
This study, performed in water tow tanks, compares the response of a flat plate wing to …

This paper experimentally investigates the flow field development and unsteady loading of
three force-mitigating pitch manoeuvres during a transverse gust encounter. The …

This study presents an aerodynamic characterization of a fan-array wind generator (FAWG)
operating at Reynolds number of 2.8× 10 6 in a large room. The performance of unmanned …

Wing-gust encounters arising from flight over complex terrain or adverse weather are
unavoidable and cause large lift transients that may result in structural damage due to …

The encounter between micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) and gusts is often detrimental and
mitigating the effects of the gust is important for operating MAVs under severe environmental …
