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 …

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 …

In terms of their flight and unusual aerodynamic characteristics, mosquitoes have become a
new insect of interest. Despite transmitting the most significant infectious diseases globally …

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 …

Many drone platforms have matured to become nearly optimal flying machines with only
modest improvements in efficiency possible.“Chimera” craft combine fixed wing and rotary …

One feature of animal wings is their embedded mechanosensory system that can support
flight control. Insect wings are particularly interesting as they are highly deformable yet the …

In this work, the aerodynamic performance of four types of bird's airfoils (eagle, stork, hawk,
and albatross) at low Reynolds number and a range of angles of attack during fixed …

Beetle hindwings have the unique advantages of lightweight and high strength, which play a
key role in flight. In this study, the beetle hindwings were cut along the chordal direction …

The flow structures and surface pressure distributions on corrugated airfoils significantly
differed from those on a conventional, smooth airfoil. An unsteady, two-dimensional …

Flapping wing vehicles (FWVs) have unique flight characteristics and the successful flight of
such a vehicle depends upon efficient design of the flapping mechanisms while keeping the …
