Aerodynamic Effects of Ceiling and Ground Vicinity on Flapping Wings

Aerodynamic Effects of Ceiling and Ground Vicinity on Flapping Wings

The combined ceiling and ground effect on the aerodynamics of a hovering flapping wing is investigated using numerical simulations. In the simulations, the wing was located between the ceiling and the ground. Simulations were carried out for different wall clearances at two Reynolds numbers (<inl...
