Unsteady Aerodynamics Of A Flapping Airfoil
Sarkar, Sunetra / Venkatraman, Kartik
This book analyzes the unsteady, viscous flow-field of an oscillating airfoil. This has ramifications on understanding the flapping flight of natural biological systems like fishes and invertebrates. It also helps towards a better aerodynamic design and understanding of flapping types MAVs. The flow-field simulation is performed with a grid-free Lagrangian particle based solver using vorticity particles. An examination of the unsteady aerodyna...
