A method is presented to model the incompressible, attached, unsteady lift and pitching
moment acting on a thin three-dimensional wing in the time domain. The model is based on …

Migratory birds have developed remarkable physiological and biomechanical adaptive
capacities in order to fly at very high altitudes and benefit from favorable wind. Numerous …

Abstract The unsteady Vortex Lattice method is becoming an increasingly popular
aerodynamic modelling method for incompressible aeroelastic problems, such as flexible …

Flapping flight is an increasingly popular area of research, with applications to micro-
unmanned air vehicles and animal flight biomechanics. Fast, but accurate methods for …

This paper describes the development of a complete methodology for the aeroservoelastic
modelling of horizontal axis wind turbines at the conceptual design stage. The methodology …

A dual optimization method for optimizing contact-aided compliant mechanism design
parameters and their spatial distribution in a dynamic ornithopter wing structure for …

Ornithopters and entomopters should be insensitive to the gusty environment during outdoor
operations. Hence, it becomes imperative to understand their behaviour under the influence …

(1) Background: Many studies suggest that migratory bird groups fly in a V-formation to
improve their aerodynamic efficiency, the goal being to reduce their energy expenditure to …

A method is presented to model the incompressible, attached, unsteady lift and moment
