The leading-edge vortex (LEV) is known to produce transient high lift in a wide variety of
circumstances. The underlying physics of LEV formation, growth, and shedding are explored …

Flying and swimming in nature present sophisticated and exciting ventures in biomimetics,
which seeks sustainable solutions and solves practical problems by emulating nature's time …

Stingrays, in contrast with many other aquatic animals, have flattened disk-shaped bodies
with expanded pectoral 'wings', which are used for locomotion in water. To discover the key …

The tail (caudal fin) is one of the most prominent characteristics of fishes, and the analysis of
the flow pattern it creates is fundamental to understanding how its motion generates …

The role of the Coriolis effect on the attachment of the leading edge vortex (LEV) is
investigated. Toward that end, the Navier–Stokes equations are solved in the non-inertial …

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by generating backward traveling waves over their
body, which is thought to reattach the flow when the wave speed (increases both the axial …

The effects of advance ratio and the wing's aspect ratio on the structure of the leading-edge
vortex (LEV) that forms on flapping and rotating wings under insect-like flight conditions are …

We perform direct numerical simulations of laminar separated flows over finite-aspect-ratio
swept wings at a chord-based Reynolds number of wings due to weakened downwash …

It is hypothesized that the relative stability of leading-edge vortices (LEVs) on flapping
profiles can be improved by moderating LEV growth through spanwise vorticity convection …

In this study, we investigate the effect of hydrofoil flexibility on the power extraction of a
flapping tidal stream generator with hydrofoils down-scaled for a water channel in an …
