The presence of a stable leading edge vortex (LEV) on steadily revolving wings increases
the maximum lift coefficient that can be generated from the wing and its role is important to …

Since taking flight, insects have undergone repeated evolutionary transitions between two
seemingly distinct flight modes,–. Some insects neurally activate their muscles …

Insects are excellent fliers because of their ability to generate precise wing kinematics and
deform their wings for the sufficient production of unsteady aerodynamic forces. Most of the …

An improved quasi-steady aerodynamic model for flap** wings in hover has been
developed. The purpose of this model is to yield rapid predictions of lift generation and …

Quasi-steady aerodynamic models play an important role in evaluating aerodynamic
performance and conducting design and optimization of flap** wings. The kinematics of …

An optical tracking facility was used to record the free flight of the Monarch butterfly for a
large number of sequential flaps. The system automatically tracked reflective markers, which …

Time-varying force/moment measurements and digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV)
were conducted to reveal the influence of an advance ratio could be an independent …

Force measurements and digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) were carried out to reveal
the effects of the aspect ratio (AR) of an insect-like flap** wing. A total of seven aspect …

This paper provides a systematic and critical review of dynamic experimental rigs used for
insect wing aerodynamics research. The goal is to facilitate meaningful comparison of data …
