The Aerodynamic Effect of an Alula-like Vortex Generator on a Revolving Wing
Biomimetics, 2022 An alula is a small structure of feathers that prevents birds from stalling. In this study, the aerodynamic effect of an alula-like vortex generator (alula-VG) on a revolving wing was investigated using the PIV technique in a water tank. The alula-VG was

A highly adaptive three dimensional hybrid vortex method for inviscid flows and helically symmetric vortex equilibria [PDF]
, 2012 This thesis is concerned with three-dimensional vortex dynamics, in particular the modelling of vortex structures in an inviscid context. We are motivated by the open problem of regularity of the inviscid equations, i.e.

Fast numerical evaluation of flow fields with vortex cells [PDF]
, 2009 A vortex cell (in this paper) is an aerodynamically shaped cavity in the surface of a body, for example a wing, designed specially to trap the separated vortex within it, thus preventing large-scale unsteady vortex shedding from the wing.
