  2. 2. Aerodynamics of Bird Flight

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Ravichandran Aishwar; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It is the objective of this thesis project to understand the physics behind the different modes of bird flight and to do numerical two dimensional simulations of pure plunging, pure pitching and combined pitch-plunging motion of an aerofoil. First, the different physical models used to understand the generation of thrust are explained. READ MORE

  3. 3. Aerodynamics of Flutter

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Emelie Barman; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The unsteady ow around an aerofoil placed in a uniform ow stream with an angle of attack is investigated, under the assumption of inviscid, incompressible, two-dimensional flow. In particular, a function of the velocity jump over the wake is achieved, where this function depends on the horizontal displacement and time. READ MORE
