The flight of a migratory bird-like flapping-wing aircraft is characterized by a low Reynolds number and unsteadiness. The selection of airfoil profiles is critical to designing an efficient flapping-wing aircraft. To choose the suitable airfoil for vari...

Ice accretion is inevitable on fix-wing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) when they are applied to surveillance and mapping over colder climates and arctic regions. Subsequent aerodynamic profile changes have caused the current interest in the better predi...

A novel concept of morphing airfoils, capable of changing camber and thickness, is proposed. A variable airfoil shape, defined by six input parameters, is achieved by allowing the three spinal points (at fixed axial positions) to slide vertically, while ...

A two-point cylindrical-focused laser differential interferometer (2P-CFLDI) system and a conventional Z-type Schlieren were used to measure the hypersonic turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate at Mach number Ma = 6 and Reynolds number Re = 1.08 × 106...

A new type of anti-rolling device denoted as a fluid momentum wheel (FMW) is proposed to address the limitations of traditional gyrostabilizers in reducing the roll responses of floating platforms in waves. The proposed device is based on the same gyrosc...
