Agile manoeuvring of dandelion-inspired micro-flyers with vortex-enabled stability
Jianfeng Yang, Soumarup Bhattacharyya, Aditya Potnis +2
Manoeuvring untethered, centimetre-scale airborne structures has been a long-standing challenge. Active flight systems, relying on high-power-density actuators alongside mechanical…
Passive control of wing tip vortices through a grooved-tip design
Junchen Tan, Shūji Ōtomo, Ignazio Maria Viola +1
This paper investigates the characteristics and control of tip vortices generated by a finite wing, focusing on the impact of the novel grooved-tip designs. Tip vortices can lead t…
Neural Network Verification for Gliding Drone Control: A Case Study
Colin Kessler, Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Marco Casadio +5
As machine learning is increasingly deployed in autonomous systems, verification of neural network controllers is becoming an active research domain. Existing tools and annual veri…
Unsteady Load Mitigation through Passive Pitch
Yabin Liu, Riccardo Broglia, Anna M. Young +2
Mitigation of load fluctuations due to flow unsteadiness is critical in a broad range of applications, including wind/tidal turbines, and aerial/underwater vehicles. While the use…
Controlling Tip Vortices and Cavitation through Tip Permeability for Tidal Turbines
Yabin Liu, Junchen Tan, Richard H. J. Willden +2
Blade-tip vortices can lead to wakes, cavitation and noise, and their control remains a significant challenge for tidal and wind turbines. In the present work, we propose and inves…
Effect of transverse gust on free-falling plates
Jawahar Sivabharathy Samuthira Pandi, Ahmet Gungor, Chandan Bose +2
The effects of transverse gusts on free-falling plates are investigated using two-way coupled fluid-structure interaction simulations for a Galilei number (Ga) between 10 and 50 an…
