Revisiting the flight dynamics of take-off of a butterfly: experiments and CFD simulations for a cabbage white butterfly
We conducted measurements of the taking-off motion of a butterfly (Pieris rapae) and numerical simulations using a computational model reflecting its motion. The computational butterfly model is composed of a thorax, an abdomen, and four wings (left and right wings with fore and hind parts), i.e. a...
