Study of lift enhancing mechanisms via comparison of two distinct flapping patterns in the dragonfly sympetrum flaveolum

The computational fluid dynamic model of a live-sized dragonfly (Sympetrum flaveolum) hindwing is simulated according to the in-flight flapping motions measured in kinematic experiments. The flapping motion of the simulated wing is accomplished by dynamically re-gridding the wing-fluid mesh accordin...
