Numerical analysis of effects of leading-edge protuberances on aircraft wing performance
This thesis investigates the effects of biologically inspired leading-edge protuberances on aircraft wings. The study of humpback whales and their flipper performance was the impetus to modifying the leading edge of an aircraft wing in order to gain an aerodynamic advantage during flight. This study...
