Unsteady force estimation using a Lagrangian drift-volume approach

CJ McPhaden, DE Rival - Experiments in Fluids, 2018 - Springer
A novel Lagrangian force estimation technique for unsteady fluid flows has been developed,
using the concept of a Darwinian drift volume to measure unsteady forces on accelerating …

The influence of edge undulation on vortex formation for low-aspect-ratio propulsors

F Kaiser, J Kriegseis, DE Rival - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
Experiments to study the effect of edge undulation on vortex formation have been conducted
on impulsively accelerated plates. Abstractions of propulsors found in nature are produced …

[PDF][PDF] Scaling of vorticity annihilation during leading-edge vortex formation

Due to the high performance of wings in bird and insect flight, their aerodynamics are
frequently addressed in current research. A broad variety of wing shapes and three …
