The leading-edge vortex (LEV) is well known for its contribution to the high-lift generation in
a wide variety of biological organisms, such as flying insects, auto-rotating samaras, and …

The flow topology and leading-edge vortex (LEV) formation and detachment mechanism of a
pitching and plunging flat plate are experimentally investigated in this study. Focus is placed …

Many natural flyers and swimmers routinely flex their lifting or propulsive surfaces to control
the leading-edge vortex (LEV) that forms on the suction side during maneuvering at a high …

Researchers have hypothesized that the post-stall lift benefit of bird's alular feathers, or
alula, stems from the maintenance of an attached leading-edge vortex (LEV) over their thin …

Many marine animals can dynamically twist their pectoral fins while swimming. The effects of
such dynamic twisting on the unsteady forces on the fin and its surrounding flow field are yet …

This study experimentally investigates the phenomenon of leading-edge-vortex burst on
rotating flat plate wings. An aspect-ratio-2 wing was driven in pure rotation at a Reynolds …

Abstract Leading-edge vortex (LEV) is a hallmark of insect flight that forms and remains
stably attached on high angle-of-attack (AoA), low aspect ratio (AR) wings undergoing …

We study experimentally the aeroelastic instability boundaries and three-dimensional vortex
dynamics of pitching swept wings, with the sweep angle ranging from 0. The structural …

Leading-edge-vortex (LEV) formation often characterizes the unsteady flows past airfoils
and wings. Recent research showed that initiation of LEV formation on airfoils in two …

We examine the dynamics of the leading-edge vortex (LEV) on a rapidly pitching plate with
the aim of elucidating the underlying flow physics that dictates the stability and circulation of …
