Helical vortices generated by flapping wings of bumblebees
T. Engels, D. Kolomenskiy, K. Schneider +3
High resolution direct numerical simulations of rotating and flapping bumblebee wings are presented and their aerodynamics is studied focusing on the role of leading edge vortices…

Numerical simulation of vortex-induced drag of elastic swimmer models
T. Engels, D. Kolomenskiy, K. Schneider +1
We present numerical simulations of simplified models for swimming organisms or robots, using chordwise flexible elastic plates. We focus on the tip vortices originating from three…
