Multirotor-assisted measurements of wind-induced drift of irregularly shaped objects in aquatic environments
Javier Gonzalez-Rocha, Alejandro J. Sosa, Regina Hanlon +4
Ocean hazardous spills and search and rescue incidents are more prevalent as maritime activities increase across all sectors of society. However, emergency response time remains a…
Wind dispersal of natural and biomimetic maple samaras
Gary K. Nave, Nathaniel Hall, Katrina Somers +6
Maple trees (genus ) accomplish the task of distributing objects to a wide area by producing seeds which are carried by the wind as they slowly descend to the ground…
Global invariant manifolds delineating transition and escape dynamics in dissipative systems
Jun Zhong, Shane D. Ross
Invariant manifolds play an important role in organizing global dynamical behaviors. For example, it is found that in multi-well conservative systems where the potential energy wel…
Wind profiling in the lower atmosphere from wind-induced perturbations to multirotor UAS
Javier González-Rocha, Stephan F. J. De Wekker, Shane D. Ross +1
We present a model-based approach to wind velocity profiling using motion perturbations of a multirotor unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in both hovering and steady ascending flight.…
