The influence of the bending rigidity of a flexible heaving wing on its propulsive performance in a two-dimensional imposed parallel flow is investigated in the inviscid limit. Potential flow …
A two-dimensional model for the flapping of an elastic flag under axial flow is described. The vortical wake is accounted for by the shedding of discrete point vortices with unsteady …

A low-order point vortex model for the two-dimensional unsteady aerodynamics of a flat plate wing section is developed. A vortex is released from both the trailing and leading …
In this modern era of ready access to computational resources, both for research and for instruction, potential flow theory has become somewhat of an endangered species. Though …

In this study we consider the separated flow of an inviscid fluid around a moving flat plate. The motion of the plate, which is initially started from rest, is prescribed and unconstrained …
A method is proposed for the study of the two-dimensional coupled motion of a general sharp-edged solid body and a surrounding inviscid flow. The formation of vorticity at the …

The aerodynamic forces on a flat plate accelerating from rest at fixed incidence in two- dimensional power-law flow are studied analytically and numerically. An inviscid …
An inviscid vortex sheet model is developed in order to study the unsteady separated flow past a two-dimensional deforming body which moves with a prescribed motion in an …

In this paper, we consider the unsteady aerodynamics of a two-dimensional airfoil as a dynamical system whose input is the angle of attack (or airfoil motion) and output is the lift …
