Hydrodynamics of swimming in stingrays: numerical simulations and the role of the leading-edge vortex (2016, background): “LEV dynamics have been widely studied, and the LEV often grows and starts shedding for translating 2D foils (Dickinson & Gotz 1993; Wang 2000; Kim & Gharib 2010; Beem, Rival & Triantafyllou 2012; Pitt Ford & Babinsky 2013) or 2D flapping foils (Anderson et al. 1998; Dong et al. 2006), but it…”

Bifurcating flows of plunging aerofoils at high Strouhal numbers (2012, background): “Indeed, Wang (2000) identified downward deflected vortex dipoles as a possible method of lift generation in hovering insect flight.”
Resonance and propulsion performance of a heaving flexible wing (2009, background): “In such experimental [12, 13], theoretical [1, 14] and numerical studies [15, 16, 17, 18], the position of the solid is prescribed and the influence of the swimming stroke on the propulsive performance is analyzed.”
DISSECTING INSECT FLIGHT (2005, background): “The effect of Reynolds number (Re) on the thrust was also studied in (Wang 2000a and Miller & Peskin 2004).”
An immersed interface method for simulating the interaction of a fluid with moving boundaries (2006, result): “They are very similar to those obtained by Wang [35], where the physical interpretation was given.”
The aerodynamics of insect flight (2003, methodology): “With recent advances in computational methods, many researchers have begun exploring numerical methods to resolve the insect flight problem, with varying degrees of success (Smith et al., 1996; Liu et al., 1998; Liu and Kawachi, 1998; Wang, 2000; Ramamurti and Sandberg, 2002; Sun and Tang, 2002).”
Time-resolved reconstruction of the full velocity field around a dynamically-scaled flapping wing (2006, background): “The shedding of a pair of counter-rotating vortices as evident in frames s = 0.05–0.09 has also been observed in a two-dimensional numerical study by Wang (2000).”
Symmetry breaking leads to forward flapping flight (2004, background): “Many experiments and numerical computations (Tobalske 2000; Anderson et al. 1998; Dickinson, Lehmann & Sane 1999; Jones, Dohring & Platzer 1998; Wang 2000) measure or compute the force experienced by a wing effecting a prescribed motion.”
Influence of wing kinematics on aerodynamic performance in hovering insect flight (2007, methodology): “Validation using harmonic wing kinematics The main numerical parameters, a mesh size of 50 × 10(3) cells and 2000 time steps within one excitation period, are used to validate our results with respect to those obtained by Wang et al. (2004) for similar but not identical conditions. We selected a two”
