An improved quasi-steady aerodynamic model for flapping wings in hover has been
developed. The purpose of this model is to yield rapid predictions of lift generation and …

Vorticity transport is analysed within the leading-edge vortex generated on a rectangular flat
plate of aspect ratio 4 undergoing a starting rotation motion in a quiescent fluid. Two …

This study presents a comprehensive review of the automated classification in partial
discharge (PD) source identification and probabilistic interpretation of the classification …

Insect wings are subjected to fluid, inertia and gravitational forces during flapping flight.
Owing to their limited rigidity, they bent under the influence of these forces. Numerical study …

Inspired by the high performance of rotary and insect flapping wings capable of vertical take-
off and landing and hovering (VTOLH), a novel flapping wing rotor (FWR) has been …

Both the transient formation and the stable attachment of leading-edge vortex (LEV)
contribute to the high lift generation of an insect wing when it revolves at high angles of …

Inspired by insect flapping wings, a novel flapping wing rotor (FWR) has been developed for
micro aerial vehicle (MAV) application. The FWR combines flapping with rotary kinematics of …

Modern designs of micro air vehicles (MAVs) are mostly inspired by nature's flyers, such as
hummingbirds and flying insects, which results in the birth of bio‐inspired MAVs. The history …

This paper proposes a semi-empirical quasi-steady aerodynamic model of a flapping wing
in forward flight. A total of 147 individual cases, which consisted of advance ratios J of 0 …

The sequence of events constituting the formation of a leading-edge vortex (LEV) has been
investigated for a periodically plunging nominally two-dimensional flat plate and a similarly …
