Effect of frontal gusts and stroke deviation in forward flapping flight and deconstructing the aerodynamics of a fruit bat

Effect of frontal gusts and stroke deviation in forward flapping flight and deconstructing the aerodynamics of a fruit bat

This dissertation broadly seeks to understand the effect different kinematic parameters, external forces, and dynamic wing conformation have on the fluid dynamics of flapping flight. The primary motivation is to better grasp the fundamental fluid phenomena driving efficient flapping flight in the Re...
