Leading-edge vortex formation and transient lift generation on a revolving wing at low Reynolds number

open access: yesAerospace Science and Technology, 2020
Both the transient formation and the stable attachment of leading-edge vortex (LEV) contribute to the high lift generation of an insect wing when it revolves at high angles of attack.

Leading-Edge Vortex Lifts Swifts

Science, 2004
The current understanding of how birds fly must be revised, because birds use their hand-wings in an unconventional way to generate lift and drag. Physical models of a common swift wing in gliding posture with a 60° sweep of the sharp hand-wing leading edge were tested in a water tunnel.

Vortex–leading-edge interaction

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1982
Visualization of successive vortices impinging upon the leading edge of a wedge reveals patterns of deformation of each incident vortex; for certain offsets of the edge with respect to the incident vortex there is pronounced vortex shedding from the leading edge, whereby the shed vortex has a vorticity orientation opposite to that of the incident ...

Leading-edge vortex stability in insect wings

Physical Review E, 2005
An analytical study is presented to determine if the persistency of the leading-edge vortex in an insect wing can be explained as the balance between vorticity generation at the leading edge and advection plus effects of vorticity stretching and tilting by the flow along the wing span.
