Many natural flyers and swimmers routinely flex their lifting or propulsive surfaces to control
the leading-edge vortex (LEV) that forms on the suction side during maneuvering at a high …

The study of flapping-wing aerodynamics faces a large control space with different wing
kinematics and deformation. The adjoint-based approach, by solving an inverse problem to …

It is important to understand the impact of wing-morphing on aerodynamic performance in
the study of flapping-wing flight of birds and insects. We use a flapping plate hinged with a …

An adjoint-based optimization is applied to study the thrust performance of a pitching–rolling
ellipsoidal plate in a uniform stream at Reynolds number 100. To achieve the highest thrust …

The combustion efficiency of direct injection engines is largely dependent upon the mixing of
fuel in air, thereby creating a combustible mixture. Such a process is highly dependent upon …

flapping motion, different types of deformation, such as bending and twisting, may contribute …

W a low-Reynolds-number (low-Re) airfoil accelerates from rest at a relatively high angle of
attack a leading-edgevortex (LEV) forms which gradually grows in size, rolls over and gets …

The continuous adjoint (CA) technique for optimization and/or inverse-design of
aerodynamic components has seen nearly 30 years of documented success in academia …
