Numerical 3D study on the influence of spanwise distribution of tubercles on wings for UAV applications

In this work, a 3D numerical study on the influence of the spanwise distribution of tubercles for UAV applications is presented. The idea of using tubercles in aeronautics comes from the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) which has a characteristic flipper, with a spanwise scalloped leading edg...
