Flapping animal flight is often modeled as a combined pitching and heaving motion in order to investigate the unsteady flow structures and resulting forces that could augment the animal's lift and propulsive capabilities. This work isolates…

This work introduces the Area Localized Coupled (ALC) model, which extends earlier approaches to coupling classical wake superposition and atmospheric boundary layer models in order to enable applicability to arbitrary wind-farm layouts.…

Unsteady Lifting-Line Theory (ULLT) is a low order method capable of modeling interacting unsteady and finite wing effects at low computational cost. Most formulations of the method assume inviscid flow and small amplitudes. Whilst these…

Turbulence grounds aircraft and combating it in flight requires energy, yet volant wildlife fly effortlessly even on windy days. The nature of the interactions between soaring birds and transient turbulent gusts is not clear, especially…

Icing on three-dimensional wings causes severe flow separation near stall. Standard improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) is unable to correctly predict the separating reattaching flow due to its inability to accurately resolve…

A corrugated structure, rather than a smooth surface, is a characteristic feature of insect wings (e.g., dragonfly wings), which enhances their aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds numbers ($Re \simeq O(10^3)$). However, the mechanisms…
