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…
Clustering of Inertial Particles in Turbulent Flow Through a Porous Unit Cell
Sourabh V. Apte, Thibault Oujia, Keigo Matsuda +3
Direct numerical simulation is used to investigate effects of turbulent flow in the confined geometry of a face-centered cubic porous unit cell on the transport, clustering, and de…
Lagrangian and Eulerian accelerations in turbulent stratified shear flows
Frank G. Jacobitz, Kai Schneider
The Lagrangian (LA) and Eulerian Acceleration (EA) properties of fluid particles in homogeneous turbulence with uniform shear and uniform stable stratification are studied using di…
Wavelet Adaptive Proper Orthogonal Decomposition for Large Scale Flow Data
Philipp Krah, Thomas Engels, Kai Schneider +1
The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is a powerful classical tool in fluid mechanics used, for instance, for model reduction and extraction of coherent flow features. However,…
Scale-dependent statistics of inertial particle distribution in high Reynolds number turbulence
Keigo Matsuda, Kai Schneider, Katsunori Yoshimatsu
Multiscale statistical analyses of inertial particle distributions are presented to investigate the statistical signature of clustering and void regions in particle-laden incompres…
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…
