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.

Aerodynamic Performance of Micro Aerial Wing Structures at Low Reynolds Number [PDF]
Corrugations are folds on a surface as found on wings of dragon fly insects. Although they fly at relatively lower altitudes its wings are adapted for better aerodynamic and aero-elastic characteristics. In the present work, three airfoil geometries were

Numerical Validation of a Multi-Dimensional Similarity Law for Scaled STOVL Aircraft Models
The 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 ...

Wing Efficiency Enhancement at Low Reynolds Number
The aerodynamic performance of wings degrades severely at low Reynolds number; lift often becomes non-linear, while drag increases significantly, caused by large extents of separation.
