Flow control is the attempt to favorably modify a flow field's characteristics compared to how
the flow would have developed naturally along the surface. Natural flyers and swimmers …

The shape and function of insect wings tremendously vary between insect species. This
review is engaged in how wing design determines the aerodynamic mechanisms with which …

Hydrodynamic characteristics of hydrofoils with leading-edge tubercles were experimentally
investigated in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of Re= 1.4× 10 4. Particle image …

The effects of wavy leading edge on noise of an axial flow waterjet pump are investigated by
using numerical simulation method. Based on bionics, five wavy leading edges with different …

The phenomenon of insect flight has been of scientific interest for many years and is more
recently inspiring modern engineering devices such as Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Insect …

In this paper, an experimental study was performed to examine the flow characteristics of
fabricated micro corrugated wings by fully mimicking the real 3D Odonata wing. For this …

The aerial performance of flying insects ultimately depends on how flapping wings interact
with the surrounding air. It has previously been suggested that the wing's three-dimensional …

Flow modulation mechanism in a cylinder with corrugated surfaces is investigated by wind
tunnel experiments at Reynolds number R e= 25 600⁠. Experimental results include surface …

Flow past a backward facing ramp (BFR) with rectangular vane-type vortex generators (VGs)
located upstream has been studied numerically using OpenFOAM based steady-state RANS …

An unsteady, two-dimensional numerical study was conducted to investigate the
aerodynamic and flow characteristics of two bio-inspired corrugated airfoils at Re= 14,000 …
