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 …

We have developed a strong-coupling approach based on a uniformly-applied Eulerian
description for both fluid and solid and provided a simple monolithic formulation to compute …

The growing use of drones today necessitates improved UAVs performance and
capabilities. These requirements include flights in operational environments full of obstacles …

The aim of this article is to present an efficient dynamical model for simulating flapping robot
performance employing the bond graph approach. For this purpose, the complete …

Traditional proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-Galerkin projection for reduced-order
models (ROMs) of fluid flows is based on a fixed domain. The current method removes this …

The focus of the present paper is the parametric dynamic study of a flexible bird-like flapping-
wing micro-air vehicle (FMAV). A model of a flapping-wing MAV, containing main body …

It has been a challenge to simulate flexible flapping wings or other three-dimensional
problems involving strong fluid–structure interactions. Solving a unified fluid–solid system in …

Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is known for its strength to capture frequency features
of dynamic systems. However, without intrinsic orthogonality, it is not convenient to apply …

In the present work, a sharp interface immersed boundary method using ghost-cells is
implemented in a traditional 5th-order WENO scheme for shock capturing. To avoid non …

This paper describes a methodology to predict the loads generated by a flexible flapping
wing. The three-dimensional, whole field wing deformation was first measured using a non …
