Closed-form solution for the edge vortex of a revolving plate
Di Chen, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Hao Liu
Flapping and revolving wings can produce attached leading edge vortices (LEVs) when the angle of attack is large. In this work, a low order model is proposed for the edge vortices…
Added costs of insect-scale flapping flight in unsteady airflows
Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Sridhar Ravi, Taku Takabayashi +8
The aerial environment in the operating domain of small-scale natural and artificial flapping wing fliers is highly complex, unsteady and generally turbulent. Considering flapping…
Bumblebees minimize control challenges by combining active and passive modes in unsteady winds
Sridhar Ravi, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Thomas Engels +4
The natural wind environment that volant insects encounter is unsteady and highly complex, posing significant flight control and stability challenges. Unsteady airflows can range f…
