Experimental and numerical study of parametric dependence of lift in flapping flight

Samanta, Devranjan (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEngineering Mechanics Unit (EMU), 2009)

Flapping wings exhibit better performance than the fixed wings as the size of the flying objects decrease. In nature flight by the flapping wings is predominant in case of insects and small birds. Motivated by this aspect ...
Experiments and numerical simulations of flapping wing flight

Shreyas, J.V. (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEngineering Mechanics Unit (EMU), 2005)

Aerodynamic theory for fixed wing aeroplanes, in the high Reynolds number limit, has now been well established. In nature however, it is the flapping motion that dominates, and it is observed that the frequency of flapping ...
Unsteady aerodynamics of flapping flight

Dhar, Binaya Kumar (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEngineering Mechanics Unit (EMU), 2003)

In the thesis we present a study on the unsteady aerodynamics of insect flight. Motivation for the study is to establish the rational for adopting unsteady aerodynamics principles in the design of Micro Air Vehicles (MAV) ...
