ease of use, and suitability for multi-objective design optimization problems, EAs have been …

A two-dimensional computational hydrodynamic model is developed to investigate the
propulsive performance of a flapping foil system in viscous incompressible flows, which …

The propulsive performance and the wake interactions between a pair of pitching foils in
several staggered configurations are studied experimentally. Results are limited to cases …

The aerodynamics of oscillating airfoils are crucial to understanding subjects such as rotor
dynamics and bio-inspired flows. Unsteady airfoils have been studied extensively, but there …

This paper constructs an optimization framework based on the data-informed self-adaptive
quasi-steady model. The framework aims at achieving a specific aerodynamic force …

Biplane configuration of pure plunging airfoils is investigated in terms of vortex dynamics
both experimentally and numerically by utilizing particle image velocimetry and unstructured …

Biplane configuration is a critical configuration for aircrafts all the time, but the dynamics and
flow mechanism remain elusive, with no systematic description forthcoming. This paper …

This study investigates the effects of aerodynamic interaction on the aeroelastic
characteristics of wings in proximity which is considered to be aerodynamically more …
