Effect of Coupled Wing Motion on the Aerodynamic Performance during Different Flight Stages of Pigeon [PDF]
Cyborg and Bionic SystemsBirds achieve remarkable flight performance by flexibly morphing their wings during different flight stages. However, due to the lack of experimental data on the free morphing of wings and the complexity of coupled motion in aerodynamics studies, the ...

Towards an industrial manufactured morphing trailing edge flap system for wind turbines [PDF]
, 2014 Several numerical studies in the past 10 years have shown big potentials for load reduction on MW turbines using distributed control for alleviation of the fluctuating loads along the blade span. However, the requirements by the wind turbine industry of robust actuator solutions where the strongest specifications mean no metal and electrical parts in ...

Effects of an Unsteady Morphing Wing with Seamless Side-Edge Transition on Aerodynamic Performance
Energies, 2022 This paper presents an unsteady flow analysis of a 3D wing with a morphing trailing edge flap (TEF) and a seamless side-edge transition between the morphed and static parts of a wing by introducing an unsteady parametrization method.

Experimental Aerodynamic Comparison of Active Camber Morphing and Trailing-Edge Flaps [PDF]
AIAA Journal, 2021 Unlike hinged flaps (for example, ailerons, elevators, and rudders), camber morphing devices vary camber distribution in a smooth and continuous way, resulting in aerodynamic efficiency improvements due to the absence of sharp changes in airfoil camber.
