Fluid-structure interaction using volume penalization and mass-spring models with application to flapping bumblebee flight
Hung Truong, Thomas Engels, Dmitry Kolomenskiy +1
Wing flexibility plays an essential role in the aerodynamic performance of insects due to the considerable deformation of their wings during flight under the impact of inertial and…
Burst-and-coast swimmers optimize gait by adapting unique intrinsic cycle
G. Li, I. Ashraf, B. François +4
This paper addresses the physical mechanism of intermittent swimming by considering the burst-and-coast regime of fish swimming at different speeds. The burst-and-coast regime cons…
A mass-spring fluid-structure interaction solver: Application to flexible revolving wings
Hung Truong, Thomas Engels, Dmitry Kolomenskiy +1
The secret to the spectacular flight capabilities of flapping insects lies in their wings, which are often approximated as flat, rigid plates. Real wings are however delicate struc…
