In this survey paper transitional turbulence modeling is approached from the point of view
relevant to small unmanned aerial vehicles (span≈ 1 m), of which the flow is characterized …

In many engineering applications, aerofoils experience elevated free-stream turbulence
levels. The present work experimentally investigates the effect of free-stream turbulence on …

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 …

Accurate unsteady aerodynamic models are essential to estimate the forces on rapidly
pitching wings and to develop model-based controllers. As system identification is arguably …

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 …

A novel gust generator was developed to study the interaction of wings with vertical gusts of
controllable interaction time with magnitudes up to 30% of the freestream velocity at low …

To simulate the effects of gusts and maneuvers, lift, moment, and flow measurements are
presented for a periodically plunging airfoil at a Reynolds number of 20,000 over a wide …

Computational and experimental results for pitching and plunging airfoils were used to study
the time lag associated with boundary-layer convection and to develop a model that can be …

For the design and certification of wind turbines, it is essential to provide fast and accurate
unsteady aerodynamic load prediction models for the whole operational range of angle of …

A spatially developing turbulent boundary layer subject to a space-and time-dependent
pressure gradient is analysed via large-eddy simulation. The unsteadiness is prescribed by …
