Simultaneous Contact and Aerodynamic Force Estimation (s-CAFE) for Aerial Robots [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper, we consider the problem of multirotor flying robots physically interacting with the environment under wind influence. The result are the first algorithms for simultaneous online estimation of contact and aerodynamic wrenches acting on the robot based on real-world data, without the need for dedicated sensors.

In vivo recording of aerodynamic force with an aerodynamic force platform [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Flapping wings enable flying animals and biomimetic robots to generate elevated aerodynamic forces. Measurements that demonstrate this capability are based on tethered experiments with robots and animals, and indirect force calculations based on measured kinematics or airflow during free flight.

Aerothermodynamic Simulators for Rocket Design using Neural Fields [PDF]
57th 3AF International Conference on Applied Aerodynamics 29 - 31
March 2023, 2023 The typical size of computational meshes needed for realistic geometries and high-speed flow conditions makes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) impractical for full-mission performance prediction and control. Reduced-Order Models (ROMs) in low-speed aerodynamics have come a long way in terms of reconstructing coherent flow patterns, thus enabling ...
