This paper presents a framework for the estimated state regulation of the lift force for a
maneuvering wing during a transverse gust encounter. An expression for the effective angle …

Air vehicles of all scales are susceptible to large-amplitude gusts that may lead to vehicle
damage and instability. Therefore, effective physics-based control strategies and an …

Aerodynamic disturbances (due to gusts, maneuvers, or a combination) leave a signature in
the pressures exerted on the wing surface. In this work, the following question is explored …

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 …

One of the primary challenges in the study of gust encounters lies in isolating, defining, and
parametrizing a specific problem in a highly unsteady, three-dimensional, and multiscale …

Recent interest in flight through gusty winds has given rise to a large body of work on
discrete large-amplitude gust encounters where the magnitude of the flow disturbance is …

Wings can experience a large increase in lift when subjected to a high-amplitude transverse
gust, which may adversely affect their controllability. This study analyzes the capability of …

Gust response has consistently been a concern in engineering. Critical theories have been
proposed in the past to predict the unsteady lift response of an airfoil experiencing vertical …

The response of a NACA0012 airfoil impacted by vortical gusts is investigated performing
Direct Numerical Simulations of the two-dimensional incompressible flow. Taylor vortices of …

Abstract The Andrew Fejer Unsteady Wind Tunnel was modified to add a suction duct on top
of the test section to generate a vertical velocity component (cross flow). The suction …
