Aerodynamic ground effect in flapping-wing insect flight is of importance to comparative morphologies and of interest to the micro-air-vehicle (MAV) community. Recent studies, however, show apparently contradictory results of either some…

We reveal the effects of sweep on the wake dynamics around NACA 0015 wings at high angles of attack using direct numerical simulations and resolvent analysis. The influence of sweep on the wake dynamics is considered for sweep angles from…

Color coherence effects play a crucial role in the description of jet evolution at collider experiments. It is well known that the stimulated gluon emission suffered by energetic jets traversing deconfined QCD matter is also affected by…

Drawing inspiration from the adaptive wing shape of birds in flight, this study introduces a bio-inspired concept for shape adaptation utilizing bend-twist coupling (BTC) in composite laminates. The primary aim of the design optimization is…

Radar echoes from bird flocks contain modulation signals, which we find are produced by the flapping gaits of birds in the flock, resulting in a group of spectral peaks with similar amplitudes spaced at a specific interval. We call this the…

The influence of dynamic interlayer interactions on the spin torque driven and damped excitations are illustrated for a three layer macrospin model system that corresponds to a standard spin-torque oscillator. The free layer and a synthetic…

We experimentally studied the effect of flexibility on the flow produced by sinusoidally pitching foil in quiescent fluid. The rigid foil produces a weak, divergent and meandering jet. On the contrary, the foil with a flexible flap produces…

Using a flapping robot in a wind tunnel, we show that flapping faster amplifies existing longitudinal static stability (focusing on the pitch stiffness) and can even make an unstable flier stable. We show that stability for a flapper is not…

This study investigates the aerodynamic effects of low- and high-frequency synthetic jet control strategies on a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0025 airfoil. Visualizations and measurements are employed to assess the…

This paper presents an acoustic study of a standard NACA 0012 aerofoil with additional self-oscillating passive flaplets attached to the trailing edge. The tests with varying geometries of the flaplets were conducted in the anechoic wind…

This study presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of a full-scale horizontal-axis Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) subjected to harmonic surging motions under both laminar and turbulent inflow conditions. Utilizing high-fidelity…

We consider two cantilevered beams undergoing frictional impacts at the free end. The beams are designed to be of similar geometry so that they have distinct but close natural frequencies. Under harmonic base excitation near the primary…

As natural predators, owls fly with astonishing stealth due to the sophisticated serrated surface morphology of their feathers that produces advantageous flow characteristics and favorable boundary layer structures. Traditionally, these…

We study numerically the phases and dynamics of a dense collection of self-propelled particles with soft repulsive interactions in two dimensions. The model is motivated by recent in vitro experiments on confluent monolayers of migratory…

Forced oscillation of a system composed of two pendulums coupled by a spring in the presence of damping is investigated. In the steady state and within the small angle approximation we solve the system equations of motion and obtain the…

Flexible antenna arrays (FAAs), distinguished by their rotatable, bendable, and foldable properties, are extensively employed in flexible radio systems to achieve customized radiation patterns. This paper aims to illustrate that FAAs,…

Bio-inspired oscillatory foil propulsion has the ability to traverse various propulsive modes by dynamically changing the foil's heave and pitch kinematics. This research characterizes the propulsion properties and wake dynamics of a…

Birds employ rapid pitch-up motions for different purposes: perching birds use this motion to decelerate and come to a complete stop while hunting birds, like bald eagles, employ it to catch prey and swiftly fly away. Motivated by these…

We study the deflection and fluctuations of a clamped elastic fiber embedded in 2D foam under quasistatic flow. At all times, the fiber conformation results from the elasto-capillary interactions with the foam. We independently measure the…

This study explores the noise reduction achieved by airfoils with serrated trailing edges in a low turbulence wind tunnel, focusing on acoustic spectral characteristics and wake flow field measurements. We analyze the effects of various…
