The leading-edge vortex on a rotating wing changes markedly beyond a certain central body size. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2018 Stable attachment of a leading-edge vortex (LEV) plays a key role in generating the high lift on rotating wings with a central body. The central body size can affect the LEV structure broadly in two ways.

Petiolate wings: effects on the leading-edge vortex in flapping flight. [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2017 The wings of many insect species including crane flies and damselflies are petiolate (on stalks), with the wing planform beginning some distance away from the wing hinge, rather than at the hinge.

Leading edge vortex dynamics in airfoils: Effect of pitching motion at large amplitudes [PDF]
Journal of Fluids and Structures, 2021 Airfoils pitching in the stalled regime have been of keen interest in recent years due to their desirable aerodynamic force characteristics. In this study, we are numerically investigating the unsteady flow past a NACA 0012 airfoil under sinusoidally ...

Blunt leading-edge effect on spanwise-varying leading-edge contours of an UCAV configuration
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023 The vortex system on the SACCON model is studied under low Reynolds number by using the flow visualization technique and the surface pressure testing measurement in a low-speed water channel and a wind tunnel, respectively.

The essence of generating vortex-within-a-vortex structures behind forked caudal fins
AIP Advances, 2022 This work focuses on vortex-within-a-vortex (VV) structures behind three different shapes of forked caudal fin with a heaving-pitching motion. The results show that the synchronization of trailing-edge vortex separation and the shedding of the leading ...
