Analysis of transitions between fluttering, tumbling and steady descent of falling cards (2005, methodology): “…the phase diagram and the transitions using direct numerical simulations of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equation and a fluid force model based on ordinary differential equations derived from recent direct numerical simulations (Pesavento & Wang 2004) and experiments (Andersen et al. 2005).”
Falling styles of disks (2012, background): “Close to the lowest frontier of that regime (I∗ ≈ 2 × 10−2, Ar > 50), the path is found to exhibit a subharmonic modulation, yielding a cycle consisting of a succession of ‘short’ and ‘long’ glides, as already noticed with two-dimensional cards (Andersen et al. 2005).”

Passive wing pitch reversal in insect flight (2007, unknown): “B = 1.0, CT = 1.2, µ1 = 0.2 and µ2 = 0.2 as in Andersen et al. (2005b) .”
Energy-minimizing kinematics in hovering insect flight (2007, unknown): “As in Andersen et al. (2005a), CR is set to be equal to π for all three insects.”
