Low Reynolds Number Rotor Blade Aerodynamic Analysis
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 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
Applied Sciences, 2021 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.

Control surface effectiveness of low Reynolds number flight vehicles
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2014 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 ...

Dynamo action at low magnetic Prandtl numbers: mean flow vs. fully turbulent motion [PDF]
, 2006 We compute numerically the threshold for dynamo action in Taylor-Green swirling flows. Kinematic calculations, for which the flow field is fixed to its time averaged profile, are compared to dynamical runs for which both the Navier-Stokes and the ...

Hydromechanics of low-Reynolds-number flow. Part 4. Translation of spheroids [PDF]
, 1976 The problem of a uniform transverse flow past a prolate spheroid of arbitrary aspect ratio at low Reynolds numbers has been analysed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The solution is found to depend on two Reynolds numbers, one based on the

Numerical Validation of a Multi-Dimensional Similarity Law for Scaled STOVL Aircraft Models
AerospaceThe complex jet-ground interactions of Short Take-off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft are critical to flight safety and performance, yet studying them with traditional full-scale wind tunnel tests is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming ...
