We investigate the spatial distributions and production mechanisms of vorticity and turbulent kinetic energy around a finite NACA 0018 wing with square wingtip profile at $Re_c=10^4$ and $10^{\circ}$ angle of attack with the aid of Direct…
We perform direct numerical simulations of laminar separated flows over finite-aspect-ratio swept wings at a chord-base Reynolds number of $Re = 400$ to reveal a variety of wake structures generated for a range of aspect ratios…
The goal of the present work is to perform a systematic study of the formation of wing-tip vortices and their interaction with and impact on the surrounding flow in more details. Of particular interest is the interaction of these vortices…
This study reports on the vortex-induced lift production mechanisms in low Reynolds number flows over low aspect-ratio rectangular wings. We use a rigorous force partitioning method which allows for the estimation of the pressure-induced…
We perform direct numerical simulations of flows over finite-aspect-ratio rotating circular cylinders at a Reynolds number of 150 over a range of aspect ratios ($AR=2-12$) and rotation rates ($\alpha=0-5$), aiming at revealing the free-end…
Forward-swept wings offer unique advantages in the aerodynamic performance of air vehicles. However, the low-Reynolds-number characteristics of such wings have not been explored in the past. In this work, we numerically study laminar…
At high incidence, low-aspect-ratio wings present a unique set of aerodynamic characteristics, including flow separation, vortex shedding, and unsteady force production. Furthermore, low-aspect ratio wings exhibit a highly impactful tip…

Through triglobal resolvent analysis, we reveal the effects of wing tip and sweep angle on laminar separated wakes over swept wings. For the present study, we consider wings with semi-aspect ratios from $1$ to $4$, sweep angles from…
We perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of actively controlled laminar separated wakes around low-aspect-ratio wings with two primary goals: (i) reducing the size of the separation bubble and (ii) attenuating the wing tip vortex.…
This study investigates the three-dimensionality of synthetic jet flow control over a NACA 0025 profile wing using horizontal and vertical smoke wire visualization. The stalled flow in the baseline case is visualized, providing insights…
In this work, we have performed numerical simulations of the flapping motion of a rectangular wing in a three-dimensional flow field using the discrete vortex method (DVM). The DVM method is computationally more convenient because it does…

Patterns of vorticity in the wake of a single rectangular winglet (vortex generator) embedded in a turbulent boundary layer have been studied using Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV). The winglet was mounted normally to a flat…
While tapered swept wings are widely used, the influence of taper on their post-stall wake characteristics remains largely unexplored. To address this issue, we conduct an extensive study using direct numerical simulations to characterize…
The near wake of a small-scale wind turbine is investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiments at different tip speed ratios ($\lambda$). The wind turbine model had a nacelle and a tower mimicking real scale wind turbines.…

Cross-flow, or vertical-axis, turbines are a promising technology for capturing kinetic energy in wind or flowing water and their inherently unsteady fluid mechanics present unique opportunities for control optimization of individual rotors…
We experimentally study the aeroelastic instability boundaries and three-dimensional vortex dynamics of pitching swept wings, with the sweep angle ranging from 0 to 25 degrees. The structural dynamics of the wings are simulated using a…
