▪ Abstract This review summarizes fundamental results and discoveries concerning vortex-
induced vibration (VIV), that have been made over the last two decades, many of which are …

Apart from providing some new experimental data the paper reviews previous investigations
concerning fluctuating lift acting on a stationary circular cylinder in cross-flow. In particular …

The elevated aerodynamic performance of insects has been attributed in part to the
generation and maintenance of a stable region of vorticity known as the leading edge vortex …

We used two-dimensional digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) to visualize flow patterns
around the flapping wing of a dynamically scaled robot for a series of reciprocating strokes …

We continue with the 1997 work of Noca et al. and offer some additional closed-form
expressions (and their derivations) for the evaluation of time-dependent forces on a body in …

The popularity of plasma actuators as flow control devices has sparked a flurry of diagnostic
efforts towards their characterisation. This review article presents an overview of …

Recent contributions to the 3-D vortex methods are presented. Following Cottet, the particles
strength exchange (PSE) scheme for diffusion is modified in the vicinity of solid boundaries …

The focus of this work is to dissect the physical mechanisms that drive and sustain flow-
induced, transverse vibrations of cylinders. The influence of different mechanisms is …

The transfer of momentum from an animal to fluid in its wake is fundamental to many
swimming and flying modes of locomotion. Hence, properties of the wake are commonly …

In recent decades the major tools of aerodynamics have been computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) and experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) but not theoretical methods. This abnormal …
