Extreme vortex gust encounters by a square wing
Hiroto Odaka, Luke Smith, Kunihiko Taira
Extreme gust encounters by finite wings with disturbance velocity exceeding their cruise speed remain largely unexplored, while particularly relevant to miniature-scale aircraft. T…

The effect of Reynolds number on the separated flow over a low-aspect-ratio wing
Luke Smith, Kunihiko Taira
At high incidence, low-aspect-ratio wings present a unique set of aerodynamic characteristics, including flow separation, vortex shedding, and unsteady force production. Furthermor…
