Centripetal Acceleration Reaction: An Effective and Robust Mechanism for Flapping Flight in Insects.
Despite intense study by physicists and biologists, we do not fully understand the unsteady aerodynamics that relate insect wing morphology and kinematics to lift generation. Here, we formulate a force partitioning method (FPM) and implement it within a computational fluid dynamic model to provide a...
