The leading-edge vortex (LEV) is a powerful unsteady flow structure that can result in
significant unsteady loads on lifting blades and wings. Using force, surface pressure and …

Experiments were conducted on a rectangular flat plate wing at high incidence to compare
the force production and leading-edge vortex location and strength as a function of time for …

Experiments on a rotating wing in a liquid-filled tank were conducted to determine the
minimum required tip clearance to produce data free from wall effects. A rotating wing fixed …

Pinniped vibrissae possess a unique and complex three-dimensional topography, which
has beneficial fluid flow characteristics such as substantial reductions in drag, lift, and vortex …

Two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is applied to better understand the
effects of wing cross-sectional morphology on flow field and force production. This study …
