A quantitative analysis of leading edge vortices in flapping wing aerodynamics

Alejandro Gonzalo, Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Oscar Flores

The leading edge vortex (LEV) is one of the most important lift augmentation mechanisms in flapping wing aerodynamics. We propose a methodology that aims to provide a quantitative…

An efficient method for particle-resolved simulations of neutrally buoyant spheres

Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Blanca Fuentes, Jan Dusek +2

We present a simple modification of the direct-forcing immersed boundary method (IBM) proposed by Uhlmann [J. Comput. Phys, 2005] in order to enable it to be applied to particulate…

Influence of the approach boundary layer on the flow over an axisymmetric hill at a moderate Reynolds number

Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Jan G. Wissink, Wolfgang Rodi

Large Eddy Simulations of a flow at a moderate Reynolds number over and around a three-dimensional hill have been performed. The main aim of the simulations was to study the effect…

A numerical study of a variable-density low-speed turbulent mixing layer

Antonio Almagro, Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Oscar Flores

Direct numerical simulations of a temporally-developing, low-speed, variable-density, turbulent, plane mixing layer are performed. The Navier-Stokes equations in the low-Mach numbe…

On the aerodynamic forces on heaving and pitching airfoils at low Reynolds number

Manuel Moriche, Oscar Flores, Manuel Garcia-Villalba

The influence that the kinematics of pitching and heaving 2D airfoils have on the aerodynamic forces is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulations and a force decomposition al…
