How do flapping avian wings exhibit superior aerodynamic performance?

This work investigates the unsteady aerodynamic performance and vortex dynamics of avian-inspired flapping wings using our in-house sharp-interface immersed-boundary solver, VorteXdyn. A falcon-inspired body-wing model based on NACA 4312 profile is employed to examine aerodynamic force generation and vortex evolution d...

Wing-Rotor Aerodynamic Interactions in Small UAVs During Hover and Cruise

A compact vertical take-off and landing aircraft requires the same tilt-rotor configuration to perform two fundamentally different aerodynamic tasks: sustain hover and deliver efficient cruise. This work investigates the underlying wing-rotor interactions in both operating regimes using a validated unsteady Reynolds-av...

From Dead-Band to Steady Rotation: Three-Dimensional Vortex Dynamics of Self-Starting Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines

The self-starting behavior of vertical-axis wind turbines is strongly influenced by the development of vortical structures along the span. However, a fully coupled high-fidelity three-dimensional analysis of this process requires substantial computational resources. This study presents a computationally efficient, span...
