An experimental data-driven mass-spring model of flexible Calliphora wings
Hung Truong, Thomas Engels, Henja Wehmann +3
Insect wings can undergo significant deformation during flapping motion owing to inertial, elastic and aerodynamic forces. Changes in shape then alter aerodynamic forces, resulting…
Fluid-structure interaction using volume penalization and mass-spring models with application to flapping bumblebee flight
Hung Truong, Thomas Engels, Dmitry Kolomenskiy +1
Wing flexibility plays an essential role in the aerodynamic performance of insects due to the considerable deformation of their wings during flight under the impact of inertial and…
A mass-spring fluid-structure interaction solver: Application to flexible revolving wings
Hung Truong, Thomas Engels, Dmitry Kolomenskiy +1
The secret to the spectacular flight capabilities of flapping insects lies in their wings, which are often approximated as flat, rigid plates. Real wings are however delicate struc…
