The Aerodynamic Effect of an Alula-like Vortex Generator on a Revolving Wing
Biomimetics, 2022 An alula is a small structure of feathers that prevents birds from stalling. In this study, the aerodynamic effect of an alula-like vortex generator (alula-VG) on a revolving wing was investigated using the PIV technique in a water tank. The alula-VG was

Aerodynamic performance of dragonfly wing model that starts impulsively: how vortex motion works
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023 The cross-section of dragonfly wings has corrugated structures. In particular, the leading-edge side of the wing consists of V-shaped structures. According to previous studies, a corrugated wing may exhibit high aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds ...

Insights into leading edge vortex formation and detachment on a pitching and plunging flat plate [PDF]
Experiments in Fluids, 2020 The present study is a prelude to applying different flow control devices on pitching and plunging airfoils with the intention of controlling the growth of the leading edge vortex (LEV); hence, the lift under unsteady stall conditions. As a pre-requisite

Delaying leading edge vortex detachment by plasma flow control at topologically critical locations [PDF]
, 2020 Flapping wing propulsion offers unrivalled manoeuvrability and efficiency at low flight speeds and in hover. These advantages are attributed to the leading edge vortex developing on an unsteady wing, which induces additional lift. We propose and validate
