Lift enhancement by bats' dynamically changing wingspan. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2015 This paper elucidates the aerodynamic role of the dynamically changing wingspan in bat flight. Based on direct numerical simulations of the flow over a slow-flying bat, it is found that the dynamically changing wingspan can significantly enhance the lift.
