Aerodynamic performance of dragonfly wing model that starts impulsively: how vortex motion works

The cross-section of dragonfly wings has corrugated structures. In particular, the leading-edge side of the wing consists of V-shaped structures. According to previous studies, a corrugated wing may exhibit high aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds numbers (Re = O(103)), and vortex dynamics assoc...
