Aerodynamic Interaction of Migratory Birds in Gliding Flight

Aerodynamic Interaction of Migratory Birds in Gliding Flight

(1) Background: Many studies suggest that migratory bird groups fly in a V-formation to improve their aerodynamic efficiency, the goal being to reduce their energy expenditure to fly longer distances. To further validate this hypothesis, we numerically simulated the aerodynamic interaction of two gl...
