Quasi-Steady versus Navier–Stokes Solutions of Flapping Wing Aerodynamics

Various tools have been developed to model the aerodynamics of flapping wings. In particular, quasi-steady models, which are considerably faster and easier to solve than the Navier⁻Stokes equations, are often utilized in the study of flight dynamics of flapping wing flyers. However, the ac...
