Recent progress in flapping wing aerodynamics and aeroelasticity (2010, background): “A dragonfly wing has more local variations in its structural composition and is more corrugated than the wing of a cicada or a wasp [1,12].”
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].”
Unsteady force generation and vortex dynamics of pitching and plunging aerofoils (2012, unknown): “The flapping wing mechanism, however, imposes challenges that are unseen in fixed wing vehicles, namely the formation of large scale vortical structures, unsteady three-dimensional effects, separation and reattachment, and fluid structure interaction [4].”
Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “…range per unit energy) because it decreases the induced and profile drag (at low-to-medium and high airspeed, respectively), better shedding of wingtip vortices, and better glide ratio (sinking per horizontal speed) (Norberg 1990, 1994; Pennycuick 2008; Rayner 1988; Shyy et al. 2008; Withers 1981).”
Shallow and deep dynamic stall for flapping low Reynolds number airfoils (2009, background): “A fundamental question in the aerodynamics of flapping-wing flight, (Ellington 1984; Dickinson and Götz 1993; Lehmann 2004; Liu and Kawachi 1998; Shyy et al. 2008) is to quantitatively ascertain the role of two-dimensional effects such as leading edge vortex formation and vortex shedding, and three-”
State-space representation of the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping flight (2014, background): “[46], Sane [42], Wang [57], and Ansari et al.”
Catalyzing next-generation Artificial Intelligence through NeuroAI (2022, unknown): “However, the analogy fails, in partbecause pioneers of aviation didindeed study birds 66,67 , and some still do 68,69 .”
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.”
