We present field results revealing improved surfing performance when a novel approach
(“Real Whale”, RW) is used for applying several of the humpback whale's passive flow …

This chapter describes efforts by researchers to optimize tubercle configurations and
investigate alternative geometries. It begins with a discussion of the optimization of …

The individual geometrical modifications of a propeller blade geometry on the leading-edge
(tubercles) as well as on the trailing-edge (serration), which have already been investigated …

It was applied to the leading edge tubercles of the small UAV propeller to improve the
aerodynamic characteristics of forward flight condition. As the angle of attack changes from …

The design of tubercle wings inspired by humpback whales has sparked interest in the
recent decade. Study showed that tubercle wings had a great impact on performance when …

A numerical investigation is performed using Solidworks® 2018 (flow-simulation) with
results in good agreement with experimental data of the lift coefficient of a Joukowsky profile …

Nature has always been the prime source of inspiration for the mankind to invent new
technologies. It has always given so many things to learn the basics. Every great invention …

ABSTRACT CFD analysis is very helpful tool for designers to optimize their design which
has influence on performance because of fluid. To carryout parametric study of component …
