Scaling Laws for the Propulsive Performance of a Purely Pitching Foil in Ground Effect
Amin Mivehchi, Qiang Zhang, Melike Kurt +2
Scaling laws for the thrust production and power consumption of a purely pitching hydrofoil in ground effect are presented. For the first time, ground effect scaling laws based on…

How lovebirds fly in crosswinds based on minimal visual information
Daniel Quinn, Daniel Kress, Eric Chang +3
Flying birds navigate effectively through crosswinds, even when wind speeds are as high as flight speeds. What information birds use to sense crosswinds and compensate is largely u…
