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.

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 ...

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
