Evolution of the leading-edge vortex over a flapping wing mechanism
Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2020 Leading-edge vortex governs the aerodynamic force production of flapping wing flyers. The primary factor for lift enhancement is the leading-edge vortex (LEV) that allows for stall delay that is associated with unsteady fluid flow and thus generating ...

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.

Leading-Edge Roughness Affecting Diamond-Wing Aerodynamic Characteristics
Aerospace, 2018 Diamond wing configurations for low signature vehicles have been studied in recent years. Yet, despite numerous research on highly swept, sharp edged wings, little research on aerodynamics of semi-slender wings with blunt leading-edges exists. This paper

Leading-Edge Vortex Characteristics of Low-Aspect-Ratio Sweptback Plates at Low Reynolds Number
Applied Sciences, 2021 A sweptback angle can directly regulate a leading-edge vortex on various aerodynamic devices as well as on the wings of biological flyers, but the effect of a sweptback angle has not yet been sufficiently investigated.

Prandtl–Batchelor flow past a flat plate with a forward-facing flap [PDF]
, 1984 Two-dimensional steady inviscid flow past an inclined flat plate with a forward-facing flap attached to the rear edge is considered for the case when a vortex sheet separates from the leading edge of the flat plate and reattaches at the leading edge of ...

Hovering hummingbird wing aerodynamics during the annual cycle. I. Complete wing [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The diverse hummingbird family (Trochilidae) has unique adaptations for nectarivory, among which is the ability to sustain hover-feeding. As hummingbirds mainly feed while hovering, it is crucial to maintain this ability throughout the annual cycle ...

Sectional Leading Edge Vortex Lift and Drag Coefficients of Autorotating Samaras
Aerospace, 2023 Autorotating samaras such as Sycamore seeds are capable of descending at exceptionally slow speeds and the secret behind this characteristic is attributed to a flow mechanism known as the leading edge vortex (LEV).
