The leading-edge vortex (LEV) is known to produce transient high lift in a wide variety of
circumstances. The underlying physics of LEV formation, growth, and shedding are explored …

This is the second of two articles with the main, and largely self-explanatory, title “Rotor
theories by Professor Joukowsky”. This article considers rotors with finite number of blades …

Unsteady aerofoil flows are often characterized by leading-edge vortex (LEV) shedding.
While experiments and high-order computations have contributed to our understanding of …

A theory based upon linearized governing equations is developed that describes the
operation principles and design parameters for low-speed wind tunnels with longitudinal …

Quasi-steady aerodynamic models play an important role in evaluating aerodynamic
performance and conducting design and optimization of flapping wings. The kinematics of …

Unsteady inviscid flow models of wings and airfoils have been developed to study the
aerodynamics of natural and man-made flyers. Vortex methods have been extensively …

We report on the dynamics of the formation and growth of the leading-edge vortex and the
corresponding unsteady aerodynamic torque induced by large-scale flow-induced …

The ability of vortices to induce aerodynamic loads on proximal surfaces plays a significant
role in a wide variety of flows. However, most studies of vortex-induced effects primarily …

One of the primary challenges in the study of gust encounters lies in isolating, defining, and
parametrizing a specific problem in a highly unsteady, three-dimensional, and multiscale …

Inviscid vortex models have been demonstrated to capture the essential physics of
massively separated flows past aerodynamic surfaces, but they become computationally …
