Numerical Investigation on Aerodynamic Performance of Bird’s Airfoils
In this work, the aerodynamic performance of four types of bird’s airfoils (eagle, stork, hawk, and albatross) at low Reynolds number and a range of angles of attack during fixed (unflapping) gliding flight was numerically investigated utilizing open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code St...
