A Rotary Wing System for Micro Air Vehicle Applications. Part 1 [PDF]
INCAS Bulletin, 2011 The goal of the paper is to propose a new type of ornithopter that avoids the mechanical difficulties of a flapping system. It uses a modified design of a cycloidal propulsor.

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 ...

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 ...

Scaling trends of bird’s alular feathers in connection to leading-edge vortex flow over hand-wing
Scientific Reports, 2020 An aerodynamic structure ubiquitous in Aves is the alula; a small collection of feathers muscularized near the wrist joint. New research into the aerodynamics of this structure suggests that its primary function is to induce leading-edge vortex (LEV ...

Leading edge vortex in a slow-flying passerine [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2012 Most hovering animals, such as insects and hummingbirds, enhance lift by producing leading edge vortices (LEVs) and by using both the downstroke and upstroke for lift production. By contrast, most hovering passerine birds primarily use the downstroke to generate lift.

Leading-Edge Vortex Lift (LEVL) Sample Probe for Venusian Atmosphere
Aerospace, 2022 Can a small, lightweight, free-falling sample probe be slowed enough in the Venusian atmosphere to run a 10 min microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) ion gas micro spectrometer, without adding a propulsion systems or explosives and parachutes to the ...

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 ...
