In a large variety of fluid-dynamic problems, it is often impossible to directly measure the
instantaneous aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces on a moving body. Examples include …

This paper provides a systematic and critical review of dynamic experimental rigs used for
insect wing aerodynamics research. The goal is to facilitate meaningful comparison of data …

The ready availability of full-field velocity measurements in present-day experiments has
kindled interest in using such data for force estimation, especially in situations where direct …

We present a combined experimental and numerical study of an idealized model of the
propulsive stroke of the turning manoeuvre in fish. Specifically, we use the framework of …

The use of flow field information to compute the fluid dynamic force on a body is investigated
with specific application to experimental volumetric measurements. The calculation method …

Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) yields a linear, approximate model of a system's
dynamics that is built from data. This paper seeks to reduce the order of this model by …

This survey paper is concerned with vortex shedding from bodies in unsteady flow due
either to time dependent motion of the body in a still fluid or unsteady motion of the fluid …

T recent progression of technology has allowed for a significant development of micro-ariel
vehicles (MAV). Some imitate the flight of insects or small birds whilst others resort to a fixed …

In this paper a model for viscous boundary and shear layers in three dimensions is
introduced and termed a vortex-entrainment sheet. The vorticity in the layer is accounted for …
