The effects of temperature and viscosity on the metachronal swimming of crustaceans
Adrian Herrera-Amaya, Nils B. Tack, Zhipeng Lou +2
Temperature changes as small as C have been observed to significantly impact how self-propelled organisms move through their environment, especially for those inhabiting…
On the role of morphology and kinematics of biological swimmers to spread and suppress their odors in the wake
Maham Kamran, Amirhossein Fardi, Chengyu Li +1
Understanding the interplay between hydrodynamics and chemical sensing in aquatic environments is crucial for unraveling biological swimmers' navigation, foraging, and communicatio…
How does vortex dynamics help undulating bodies spread odor?
Maham Kamran, Amirhossein Fardi, Chengyu Li +1
In this paper, we examine the coupling between odor dynamics and vortex dynamics around undulating bodies, with a focus on bio-inspired propulsion mechanisms. Utilizing computation…
Adjoint-based optimization for thrust performance of a three-dimensional pitching-rolling plate
Min Xu, Mingjun Wei, Chengyu Li +1
An adjoint-based optimization is applied to study the thrust performance of a pitching-rolling ellipsoidal plate in a uniform stream at Reynolds number 100. To achieve the highest…
Flying with Abrupt Wing Flapping: Damselfly in Darting Flight
Chengyu Li, Haibo Dong, Wen Zhang
Damselflies show abrupt, darting flight, which is the envy of aero-engineers. This amazing ability is used both to capture prey and, by males, to establish territories that can att…
Unsteady Flow and Force Control in Butterfly Take-off Flight
Haibo Dong, Chengyu Li, Zongxian Liang +1
In this work, high-resolution, high-speed videos of a Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) in take-off flight were obtained using a photogrammetry system. Using a 3D subdivision su…
Deterioration of Damselfly Flight Performance due to Wing Damage
Yan Ren, Zhe Ning, Kuo Gai +3
In this video, effect of chordwise damage on a damselfly (American Rubyspot)'s wings is investigated. High speed photogrammetry was used to collect the data of damselflies' flight…
