Plunging Airfoil: Reynolds Number and Angle of Attack Effects

open access: yesAerospace, 2021
Natural flight has consistently been the wellspring of many creative minds, yet recreating the propulsive systems of natural flyers is quite hard and challenging.

High-Reynolds-Number Flow past a Pipe

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2013
The present aim is to reveal the flow past a pipe which is immersed parallel to the mainstream at high Reynolds numbers. In a wind tunnel, we carry out (1) base-pressure measurements, (2) velocity-fluctuation measurements using a hot-wire anemometer and (

Scattering of low-Reynolds-number swimmers [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2008
We describe the consequences of time reversal invariance of the Stokes' equations for the hydrodynamic scattering of two low Reynolds number swimmers. For swimmers that are related to each other by a time reversal transformation this leads to the striking result that the angle between the two swimmers is preserved by the scattering.

Stochastic low Reynolds number swimmers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
As technological advances allow us to fabricate smaller autonomous self-propelled devices, it is clear that at some point directed propulsion could not come from pre-specified deterministic periodic deformation of the swimmer's body and we need to develop strategies to extract a net directed motion from a series of random transitions in the ...

Design of a control system for a 1.5 m diameter coaxial rigid rotor model

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan
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.

Low Reynolds Number Rotor Blade Aerodynamic Analysis

open access: yesMATEC 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.

Noisy swimming at low Reynolds numbers [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2009
Small organisms (e.g., bacteria) and artificial microswimmers move due to a combination of active swimming and passive Brownian motion. Considering a simplified linear three-sphere swimmer, we study how the swimmer size regulates the interplay between self-driven and diffusive behavior at low Reynolds number.

Rotor blade design and dynamic characteristics analysis of unmanned helicopter

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan
The widespread application of composite materials in blades also makes the force and stiffness characteristics of blades more complex than traditional blades.

Optimal Strokes of Low Reynolds Number Linked-Sphere Swimmers

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Optimal gait design is important for micro-organisms and micro-robots that propel themselves in a fluid environment in the absence of external force or torque.
