Low Reynolds Number Rotor Blade Aerodynamic Analysis
Maintaining a steady hover flight in a rotorcraft usually requires high energy input. The aim of the paper is to prove that it is possible to vastly reduce energy use in a rotorcraft by reducing the disc loading.

Leading-Edge Vortex Characteristics of Low-Aspect-Ratio Sweptback Plates at Low Reynolds Number
A sweptback angle can directly regulate a leading-edge vortex on various aerodynamic devices as well as on the wings of biological flyers, but the effect of a sweptback angle has not yet been sufficiently investigated.

Flow characteristics over NACA4412 airfoil at low Reynolds number
In this study, the flow phenomena over NACA4412 were experimentally observed at various angle of attack and Reynolds number of 25000, 50000 and 75000, respectively.

Control surface effectiveness of low Reynolds number flight vehicles
Low-speed wind tunnel tests are carried out to investigate the control surface effectiveness at low Reynolds numbers (Re = 20,000-80,000). A thick airfoil, NACA0012, has a nonlinearity of the control surface effectiveness, which are associated with flow ...

Three-dimensional structure of a low-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layer [PDF]
A low-Reynolds-number zero-pressure-gradient incompressible turbulent boundary layer was investigated using a volumetric imaging technique. The Reynolds number based on momentum thickness was 700.

Self-learning how to swim at low Reynolds number [PDF]
Synthetic microswimmers show great promise in biomedical applications such as drug delivery and microsurgery. Their locomotion, however, is subject to stringent constraints due to the dominance of viscous over inertial forces at low Reynolds number (Re ...

Design of a control system for a 1.5 m diameter coaxial rigid rotor model
As a key equipment for rotor wind tunnel testing, the design specifications and control accuracy of the rotor test bench directly determine the testing accuracy and effectiveness of the rotor wind tunnel testing.

Effective swimming strategies in low Reynolds number flows
The optimal strategy for a microscopic swimmer to migrate across a linear shear flow is discussed. The two cases, in which the swimmer is located at large distance, and in the proximity of a solid wall, are taken into account.
