Aerodynamics of Insect Flight : Effects of wind gusts on a rigid flapping NACA 0012 airfoil at Re = 3000
Insects and small flyers operate at Reynolds numbers ranging from approximately 10-105 , where viscous forces are important. Due to their small size and weight, they are sensitive to small changes in the free stream during flight, such as wind gusts. First, the aerodynamics of flapping flight is bri...
