Dynamic Stall Characteristics and Modelling of Time-Varying Pitching Kinematics
Sahar Rezapour, Karen Mulleners
We present an experimental investigation examining how the complexity of pitching kinematics influences dynamic stall characteristics, including the stall delay and aerodynamic for…
Dynamic stall reattachment revisited
Sahar Rezapour, Karen Mulleners
Dynamic stall on airfoils is an undesirable and potentially dangerous phenomenon. The motto for aerodynamic systems with unsteadily moving wings, such as helicopters or wind turbin…
Highly deformable flapping membrane wings suppress the leading edge vortex in hover to perform better
Alexander Gehrke, Karen Mulleners
Airborne insects generate a leading edge vortex when they flap their wings. This coherent vortex is a low pressure region that enhances the lift of flapping wings compared to fixed…
Proprioceptive Sensing of Soft Tentacles with Model Based Reconstruction for Controller Optimization
Andrea Vicari, Nana Obayashi, Francesco Stella +4
The success of soft robots in displaying emergent behaviors is tightly linked to the compliant interaction with the environment. However, to exploit such phenomena, proprioceptive…
Timescales of dynamic stall development on a vertical-axis wind turbine blade
Sébastien Le Fouest, Daniel Fernex, Karen Mulleners
Vertical-axis wind turbines are great candidates to diversify wind energy technology, but their aerodynamic complexity limits industrial deployment. To improve the efficiency and l…
To tread or not to tread: comparison between water treading and conventional flapping wing kinematics
Swathi Krishna, Alexander Gehrke, Karen Mulleners
Hovering insects are limited by their physiology and need to rotate their wings at the end of each back and forth motion to keep the wing's leading edge ahead of its trailing edge.…
