Numerical Investigation on Flapping Aerodynamic Performance of Dragonfly Wings in Crosswind
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2020 Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the influence of crosswind on the aerodynamic characteristics of rigid dragonfly-like flapping wings through the solution of the three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. The aerodynamic forces,
