Nonlinear Model and Ballistic Impact of Body Aerodynamics for Canard Dual-Spin Aircraft

open access: goldAerospace
Targeting the nonlinear issues of the canard dual-spin aircraft, which relies on the high-speed rotation of the afterbody for flight stability and achieves trajectory correction by adjusting the roll angle of the low-speed rotating forebody to alter ...

Spiraling light: from donut modes to a Magnus effect analogy [PDF]

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2021
The insight that optical vortex beams carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), which emerged in Leiden about 30 years ago, has since led to an ever expanding range of applications and follow-up studies. This paper starts with a short personal account of how

Identification of roll damping coefficient using the free rotation method [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin
The free rotation method represents the simplest method for roll damping coefficient identification in experimental aerodynamics. To apply this method, it is necessary to spin the model to a desired angular velocity and then release the model to spin ...
