A Comparison of Computational and Experimental Fluid Dynamics Studies between Scaled and Original Wing Sections, in Single-Phase and Two-Phase Flows, and Evaluation of the Suggeste... by Dionysios G. Karkoulias, Anastasios G. Panagiotopoulos, Andreas I. Giannaros, Dionissios P. Margaris

“…More specifically, we investigate the one-phase and two-phase flow over a typical wing section NACA 641-212 airfoil, in the commercial code Ansys Fluent. Two computational models were developed; the first model represents the original dimensions of the wing, while the second is downscaled to 23% of the original. …”

Optimized kinematics enable both aerial and aquatic propulsion from a single three-dimensional flapping wing by Izraelevitz, Jacob Samuel, Kotidis, Miranda P., Triantafyllou, Michael S

“…Flapping wings in nature demonstrate a large force envelope, with capabilities far beyond the traditional limits of static airfoil section coefficients. Puffins, murres, and other auks particularly showcase this effect, as they are able to generate both enough thrust to swim and enough lift to fly, using the same wing, purely by changing the wing motion trajectory. …”

Aerodynamic Evaluation of Flapping Wings with Leading-Edge Twisting by Lung-Jieh Yang, Vivek Jabaraj Joseph, Yuan-Lung Lo, Wen-Tzu Tang, Balasubramanian Esakki, Saravana Kompala, Paritala Veeranjaneyulu

“…Next, MATLAB software was used to create the 3D wing surfaces from the instantaneous stereophotography Kwon3D trajectories to fully sketch the leading-edge twisting features. The 2D airfoil cut sections at the mean aerodynamic chord at different stroke moments depict the instantaneous angles of attack to justify the aforementioned wind tunnel testing data and it was verified using a theoretical trajectory model. …”
