- Iced-airfoil aerodynamics (2005, result): “Broeren and Bragg [84] and Broeren [85], investigated the fluctuating lift characteristics of several airfoils classified by stall type.”
- Unsteady force generation and vortex dynamics of pitching and plunging aerofoils (2012, unknown): “Flapping wing mechanisms seen on birds and insects are thought to be more suitable than fixed wing configuration at small length scales as the aerodynamic characteristics are substantially affected by the low Reynolds number, Re [1-3].”
- Stability and receptivity characteristics of a laminar separation bubble on an aerofoil (2010, background): “For example, in the case of MAVs aerofoil chord lengths will typically be of the order of centimetres, and flight Reynolds numbers may be as low as 42 000 (Torres & Mueller 2001).”
- Effects of flexibility on the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings (2011, background): “Furthermore, since MAVs are of light weight and fly at low speeds, they are sensitive to wind gust, and their wing structures are often flexible and tend to deform significantly during flight [2,3,4,5,6].”
- On the Unsteady Behavior of the Flow around NACA 0012 Airfoil with Steady External Conditions at Re=1000 (2015, background): “INTRODUCTION Most of the insects fly at Reynolds number of 103-104 and most of the birds fly at Reynolds number of 104 to 105 due to their low speed and small length scales [1, 2].”
- Aerodynamic Coefficients and Deformation Measurements on Flexible Micro Air Vehicle Wings (2007, background): “MAVs are a class of aircraft with a maximum size of 150 mm, and are capable of operating at speeds of 15 m/s or less [1].”
