Aerodynamic Aspects of Animal Flight
1975A lecture or a course of lectures on ‘Aircraft’ would put approximately equal emphasis on aerodynamic, structural and power-plant aspects; whereas lectures on ‘Aerodynamics of Aircraft’ would concentrate principally on aerodynamic matters while referring to just the basic elements of what limitations are imposed by structural and power-plant ...

PIV-based investigations of animal flight
Experiments in Fluids, 2008An overview is presented of the principles of estimation of fluid forces exerted upon solid bodies, based upon whole-field velocity measurements such as provided by PIV. The focus will be on the range of length and velocity scales characterised by the flight of large insects, birds, bats and small unmanned air vehicles, so that while viscous terms in ...

On numerical modeling of animal swimming and flight
Computational Mechanics, 2013Aquatic and aerial animals have developed their superior and complete mechanisms of swimming and flight. These mechanisms bring excellent locomotion performances to natural creatures, including high efficiency, long endurance ability, high maneuverability and low noise, and can potentially provide inspiration for the design of the man-made vehicles. As

A New Approach to Animal Flight Mechanics
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1979ABSTRACT The mechanics of lift and thrust generation by flying animals are studied by considering the distribution of vorticity in the wake. As wake generation is not continuous, the momentum jet theory, which has previously been used, is not satisfactory, and the vortex theory is a more realistic model. The vorticity shed

A vortex theory of animal flight. Part 2. The forward flight of birds
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1979The vortex wake of a bird in steady forward flight is modelled by a chain of elliptical vortex rings, each generated by a single downstroke. The shape and inclination of each ring are determined by the downstroke geometry, and the size of each ring by the wing circulation; the momentum of the ring must overcome parasitic and profile drags and the bird ...
