Bees with attitude: the effect of gusts on flight dynamics
Timothy Jakobi, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Teruaki Ikeda +4
Flight is a complicated task at small scales in part due to the ubiquitous unsteady air which contains it. Flying organisms deal with these difficulties using active and passive co…
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…
Aerodynamic ground effect in fruitfly sized insect takeoff
Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Masateru Maeda, Thomas Engels +3
Aerodynamic ground effect in flapping-wing insect flight is of importance to comparative morphologies and of interest to the micro-air-vehicle (MAV) community. Recent studies, howe…
