Micro air vehicles (MAV's) have the potential to revolutionize our sensing and information
gathering capabilities in environmental monitoring and homeland security areas. Due to the …

We present a review of the evolutionary advancement of the lattice Boltzmann methods
(LBM) and current status of their applications in dealing with diverse flow problems such as …

Low Reynolds number aerodynamics is important to a number of natural and man-made
flyers. Birds, bats, and insects have been of interest to biologists for years, and active study …

Unsteady aerofoil flows are often characterized by leading-edge vortex (LEV) shedding.
While experiments and high-order computations have contributed to our understanding of …

In this paper, we investigate the accuracy and efficiency of discontinuous Galerkin spectral
method simulations of under‐resolved transitional and turbulent flows at moderate Reynolds …

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the predictive capabilities of the Lattice-
Boltzmann/Very-Large-Eddy-Simulation CFD solver SIMULIA PowerFLOW® when a …

Experimental studies of the flow topology, leading-edge vortex dynamics and unsteady force
produced by pitching and plunging flat-plate aerofoils in forward flight at Reynolds numbers …

The present work predicts the formation of laminar separation bubbles at low Reynolds
numbers and the related transition to turbulence by means of Implicit Large Eddy …

Even for the stationary airfoils, due to the boundary and shear layer interactions of upper
and lower surface of the airfoils, alternating vortex patterns form and the flow becomes time …

The laminar separation bubble on an SD7003 aerofoil at a Reynolds number Re= 66000
was investigated to determine the dominant frequencies of the transition process and the …
