Gusts of moderate and large magnitude induce flow separation and other complexities when
they interact with the lifting surfaces of air vehicles. The presence of these nonlinear gusts …

The encounter between micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) and gusts is often detrimental and
mitigating the effects of the gust is important for operating MAVs under severe environmental …

A dimensional analysis of transverse gusts was performed using the Buckingham Π theorem
in an effort to standardize their characterization. This analysis identified three key terms that …

This paper aims to study the lift response of transverse and vortex gust encounters. A sine-
squared transverse gust was created in a water towing tank using a water jet, whereas a …

This paper investigates the effect of wingtip bending morphing on gust-induced
aerodynamics based on the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) method at Re= 40 000. First, an …

This paper presents a framework based on either iterative simulation or iterative
experimentation for constructing an optimal, open-loop maneuver to regulate the …

The paper is concerned with a novel approach to generate horizontal wind gusts in classical
wind tunnels. Assuming an open test section of an Eiffel-or Göttingen-type wind tunnel, the …

The objective of the present paper is to revisit two well-known wind gust injection methods in
a consistent manner and to assess their performance based on different application cases …

Gust is a common atmospheric turbulence phenomenon encountered by aircraft and is one
major cause of several undesired instability problems. Although the response of aircraft to …

This study presents numerical findings of the response of a flat plate to transverse, sharp-
edged gusts at a low Reynolds number (R e= 40, 000). A split velocity method was …
