The Aerodynamic Effect of an Alula-like Vortex Generator on a Revolving Wing
Biomimetics, 2022 An alula is a small structure of feathers that prevents birds from stalling. In this study, the aerodynamic effect of an alula-like vortex generator (alula-VG) on a revolving wing was investigated using the PIV technique in a water tank. The alula-VG was

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 ...

Manipulation of Leading-Edge Vortex Flow [PDF]
Aerospace, 2020 At very high angles of attack, the leading-edge vortex of a semi-slender delta wing becomes unsteady and collapses, endangering the flight stability. Active flow control by pulsed blowing stabilizes the vortex system, enlarging the flight envelope for such wing configurations.

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.
