Revealing the mechanism and scaling laws behind equilibrium altitudes of near-ground pitching hydrofoils
Tianjun Han, Qiang Zhong, Amin Mivehchi +2
A classic lift decomposition (von Kármán & Sears 1938) is conducted on potential flow simulations of a near-ground pitching hydrofoil. It is discovered that previously observed sta…
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…
Scaling Laws for the Propulsive Performance of Three-Dimensional Pitching Propulsors
Fatma Ayancik, Qiang Zhong, Daniel B. Quinn +3
Scaling laws for the thrust production and energetics of self-propelled or fixed-velocity three-dimensional rigid propulsors undergoing pitching motions are presented. The scaling…
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…
Inviscid scaling laws of a self-propelled pitching airfoil
Keith W. Moored, Daniel B. Quinn
Inviscid computational results are presented on a self-propelled virtual body combined with an airfoil undergoing pitch oscillations about its leading-edge. The scaling trends of t…
