Aerodynamic performance of dragonfly wing model that starts impulsively: how vortex motion works
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023 The cross-section of dragonfly wings has corrugated structures. In particular, the leading-edge side of the wing consists of V-shaped structures. According to previous studies, a corrugated wing may exhibit high aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds ...

Pulsed Blowing Interacting with a Leading-Edge Vortex
Aerospace, 2020 Manipulation of vortex instabilities for aerodynamic performance increase is of great interest in numerous aeronautical applications. With increasing angle of attack, the leading-edge vortex of a semi-slender delta wing becomes unsteady and eventually ...

Numerical Investigation of a Dynamic Stall on a Single Rotating Blade
Aerospace, 2021 Dynamic stall is a phenomenon on the retreating blade of a helicopter which can lead to excessive control loads. In order to understand dynamic stall and fill the gap between the investigations on pitching wings and full helicopter rotor blades, a ...

Leading-edge vortex dynamics on plunging airfoils and wings [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 The vortex dynamics of leading-edge vortices on plunging high-aspect-ratio (AR = 10) wings and airfoils were investigated by means of volumetric velocity measurements, numerical simulations and stability analysis to understand the deformation of the leading-edge vortex filament and spanwise instabilities.

Effect of leading-edge tubercles on the flow over low-aspect-ratio wings at low Reynolds number
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2023 Two-dimensional time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) and stereographic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) techniques were used to investigate the effect of leading-edge tubercles on the flow over low-aspect-ratio wing models.

Numerical Studies on the Effect of Leading Edge Tubercles on a Low-Pressure Turbine Cascade
Energies, 2023 The influence of the bionic leading edge tubercles on the aerodynamic performance of a high-speed low-pressure turbine has been numerically studied. Nine different tubercle configurations were designed to reduce the loss of the cascade at high Mach and ...

The leading-edge vortex of yacht sails [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2018 In the present work we experimentally verify, for the first time, that a stable Leading-Edge Vortex (LEV) can be formed on an asymmetric spinnaker, which is a high-lift sail used by yachts to sail downwind. We tested a rigid sail in isolation in a water flume at a Reynolds number of ca. 104.
