On the stability of an in-line formation of hydrodynamically interacting flapping plates
Monika Nitsche, Anand U. Oza, Michael Siegel
The motion of several plates in an inviscid and incompressible fluid is studied numerically using a vortex sheet model. Two to four plates are initially placed in-line, separated b…
Hovering in Oscillatory Flows
Yangyang Huang, Monika Nitsche, Eva Kanso
We investigate the hovering dynamics of rigid bodies with up-down asymmetry placed in oscillating background flows. Recent experiments on inanimate pyramid-shaped objects in oscill…
Stability versus Maneuverability in Hovering Flight
Yangyang Huang, Monika Nitsche, Eva Kanso
Insects and birds are often faced by opposing requirements for agile and stable flight. Here, we explore the interplay between aerodynamic effort, maneuverability, and stability in…
Start-up vortex flow past an accelerated flat plate
Ling Xu, Monika Nitsche
Viscous flow past a finite flat plate moving in direction normal to itself is studied numerically.The plate moves with velocity , where . We present the evolutio…
Numerical study of viscous starting flow past a flat plate
Ling Xu, Monika Nitsche
Viscous flow past a finite plate which is impulsively started in direction normal to itself is studied numerically using a high order mixed finite difference and semi-Lagrangian sc…
