The present study is a prelude to applying different flow control devices on pitching and plunging airfoils with the intention of controlling the growth of the leading edge vortex (LEV); hence, the lift under unsteady stall conditions. As a…
The strength and trajectory of a leading edge vortex (LEV) formed by a pitching-heaving hydrofoil (chord $c$) is studied. The LEV is identified using the $Q$-criterion method, which is calculated from the 2D velocity field obtained from PIV…
The leading edge vortex (LEV) is one of the most important lift augmentation mechanisms in flapping wing aerodynamics. We propose a methodology that aims to provide a quantitative description of the LEV. The first step of the method…
The flow condition at the leading edge governs the dynamics of the leading-edge vortex, which is crucial for understanding the separated flow over an airfoil at high angle of attack. Furthermore, with extensive applications in biomimetic…

Symmetric NACA airfoils tend to undergo abrupt stall characteristics at higher angle of attacks. The abrupt stall has deteriorating effect on lift as well as the efficiency of the airfoils. Abruptness in stall restricts the airfoil to…
Flapping wing propulsion offers unrivalled manoeuvrability and efficiency at low flight speeds and in hover. These advantages are attributed to the leading edge vortex developing on an unsteady wing, which induces additional lift. We…
High-fidelity wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) are utilized to investigate the flow-physics of small-amplitude pitch oscillations of an airfoil at Re = 100,000. The investigation of the unsteady phenomenon is done in the context…

Several previous experimental and theoretical studies have shown that a leading edge vortex (LEV) on an airfoil or wing can provide lift enhancement. In this paper, unsteady 2D potential flow theory is employed to model the flow field of a…
The effects of sweep angle and reduced frequency on the leading-edge vortex (LEV) structure over flapping swept wings in the Reynolds number ($Re$) range of $\mathbf{O}(10^4)$ are yet to be completely understood. With increasing interest in…
The expanding application in Micro-Air Vehicles has encouraged many researchers to understand the unsteady flow around a flapping foil at a low Reynolds number. We numerically investigate an incompressible unsteady flow around a…
The flow around a symmetric aerofoil (NACA 0012) with an array of flexible flaplets attached to the trailing edge has been investigated at Reynolds numbers of 100,000 - 150,000 by using High-Speed Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry…

Combined pitching-and-surging of an airfoil at the identical frequency (i.e., synchronously), at four different phase-differences, was investigated theoretically and experimentally. The most general unsteady theoretical formulation was…
Extreme gust encounters by finite wings with disturbance velocity exceeding their cruise speed remain largely unexplored, while particularly relevant to miniature-scale aircraft. This study considers extreme aerodynamic flows around a…
