... the volume-mesh motion. We apply these techniques to computation of the aerodynamics of flapping wings, specifically locust wings, where the prescribed motion and deformation of the wings are based on digital data extracted from the videos of the locust in a wind tunnel. We report results from...

... RANS/LES approach called ZDES. This last method is a recent advance in turbulence modeling methodologies that allows to take into account the unsteadiness of the flow in the base region. For validation purposes computational results were compared with wind tunnel tests. A wide range of angles of attack...

...; however, the exact behavior of the interaction is not fully understood; this phenomenon is under further investigation. Loughborough University low-speed open circuit wind tunnel In the empty working section the average turbulence intensity at the center of the working section is 0.15% measured...

..., wind speed, and annulus geometry. Experiments were performed in a low speed wind tunnel (0.5–5 m/s), in which an isothermally heated vertical cylinder surrounded by a clothed outer cylinder was placed in uniform cross wind. The tracer gas method is used to predict total ventilation flow rates through...

... and no-tail section) conducted at the SRI test site. The cost of this method is much lower than the traditional method using the wind tunnel. Various trajectory patterns are found for different tail configurations. 25 08 2008 12 05 2009 05 10 2009 bubbles digital photography drag...

... providing the shape-changing authority to attain a range of surface profiles without additional joints or seals. As a demonstration of the morphing concept in a supersonic environment, this paper describes the construction and testing of a morphing nozzle for a supersonic wind tunnel, which has been...
