Flapping Wings and Aerodynamic Lift: The Role of Leading-Edge Vortices (2007, background): “As reviewed in [13,14] and highlighted in [15,16], in addition to the LEV, numerous issues related to the interplay among wing structures (including its anisotropic deformability), flapping kinematics, large vortex structures, and Reynolds number remain unresolved.”
Shallow and deep dynamic stall for flapping low Reynolds number airfoils (2009, background): “Platzer and Jones (2006) discussed theoretical prediction of thrust efficiency versus flow visualization and thrust measurements for an airfoil in pure-plunge, over a range of reduced frequencies and”
Recent progress in flapping wing aerodynamics and aeroelasticity (2010, methodology): “This design was utilized in several MAVs [1,5,6] and served as a common design used for analysis of flapping wings.”
On the Unsteady Behavior of the Flow around NACA 0012 Airfoil with Steady External Conditions at Re=1000 (2015, background): “For the design and control purpose of MAVs, the understanding of unsteady phenomena of low Reynolds numbers flows becomes important in last decades [4-6].”
