Deng, S. (author), Xiao, T. (author), Van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Bijl, H. (author)A numerical investigation is performed to address the flexing effect on the propulsion performance of flapping wing particularly on the counter-flapping wings of the biplane configuration. A Reynolds number of 10,000 is considered in the present study which corresponds to the flight regime of most existing flapping wing micro air vehicles. The...journal article 2015

Deng, S. (author), Percin, M. (author), Van Oudheusden, B. (author)This study explores the flow structures and unsteady force generation mechanisms of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle ‘DelFly Micro’ in forward flight configuration. Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) measurements were performed to acquire three dimensional flow fields in the wake. Six components of forces and moments were...journal article 2015

Tenaglia, A. (author), Persin, M. (author), Van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Deng, S. (author), Remes, B. (author)This paper addresses the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms in the hovering flight of the DelFly II flapping-wing Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) were carried out around the wings at a high framing rate. Thrust-force was measured to investigate the relation between the vortex dynamics and the...conference paper 2014
