Low order modeling of the unsteady and 3D effects of continuous wake flapping flight

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how to model a flapping bird like wing using a variation of lifting line theory. What sets this low order modeling approach apart from other flapping lifting line models, is its modifications to include for leading edge vortex formation, the main source of extra lift in larger birds. The model was compared with experimental results from the literature with reasonable agreement. In order to further validate this approach, the model will be compared with high order Lattice Boltzmann based CFD results.
