This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of dynamic aerodynamic derivatives during aircraft transition phases using advanced CFD simulations and forced oscillation testing. Two case studies are examined: a three dimensional fighter…
We study the role of unsteady lift in the context of flapping wings in birds' flight. Both aerodynamicists and biologists attempt to address this subject, yet it seems that the contribution of the unsteady lift still holds many open…
An integrated framework of computational fluid-structural dynamics (CFD-CSD) and deep reinforcement learning (deep-RL) is developed for control of a fly-scale flexible-winged flyer in complex flow. Dynamics of the flyer in complex flow is…
The tendency of a jet to stay attached to a flat or convex surface is called the Coand\u{a} effect and has many potential technical applications. The aim of this thesis is to assess how well Computational Fluid Dynamics can capture it. A…
The passive flight of a thin wing or plate is an archetypal problem in flow-structure interactions at intermediate Reynolds numbers. This seemingly simple aerodynamic system displays an impressive variety of steady and unsteady motions that…
Birds rely on active high-acceleration morphing and flapping to navigate complex airflows, but they can also maintain stable fixed-wing postures under persistent atmospheric disturbances. Here, we show that avian wings exhibit aerodynamic…
This paper investigates stability analysis of flapping flight. Due to time-varying aerodynamic forces, such systems do not display fixed points of equilibrium. The problem is therefore approached via a limit cycle analysis based on Floquet…
A part of non-Newtonian fluids are yield stress fluids. They require a minimum stress to flow. Below this minimum value, yield stress fluids remain solid. To date, 1D and 2D numerical models have been used predominantly to study free…
Stability of flapping flight, a natural requirement for flying insects, is one of the major challenges for designing micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). To better understand how a flying insect could stabilize itself during hover, we have…
Wing flapping is one of the most widespread propulsion methods found in nature; however, the current understanding of the aerodynamics in bird wakes is incomplete. The role of the unsteady motion in the flow and its contribution to the…
The extraordinary aerial agility of hummingbirds and insects continues to inspire the design of flapping-wing drones. To replicate and analyze such flight, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that couple flow solvers with rigid…
The propulsion of a flapping wing or foil is emblematic of bird flight and fish swimming. Previous studies have identified hallmarks of the propulsive dynamics that have been attributed to unsteady effects such as the formation and shedding…
The current work is concerned with studying processes for constructing reduced-order models capable of performing transonic aeroelastic stability analyses in the frequency domain based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The…
A method is developed to estimate the properties of a global hydrodynamic instability in turbulent flows from measurement data of the limit-cycle oscillations. For this purpose, the flow dynamics are separated in deterministic contributions…
Flying animals resort to fast, large-degree-of-freedom motion of flapping wings, a key feature that distinguishes them from rotary or fixed-winged robotic fliers with limited motion of aerodynamic surfaces. However, flapping-wing…
Flow generated noise are caused shear flows and, hence, they can be used as feedback to control the flow. Existing flow control uses state variables like velocity, pressure, or vorticity, none use acoustic observables as the primary control…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies are carried out on a two-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) operating at a wind speed of 8 m/s for the tip speed ratios ($\lambda$) of 0.50 - 3.0. The blade consists of the NACA 0021 airfoil…
Fluidisation is the process by which the weight of a bed of particles is supported by a gas flow passing through it from below. When fluidised materials flow down an incline, the dynamics of the motion differ from their non-fluidised…
The wind tunnel rotary-balance testing is widely used in aircraft dynamics to characterise aerodynamics at moderate and high angles of attack during stall and spin regimes. In such experiments an aircraft test model is rotated along the…
Current design constraints have encouraged the studies of aeroacoustic fields around compressible jet flows. The present work addresses the numerical study of unsteady turbulent jet flows as a preparation for future aeroacoustic analyses of…
