The aerodynamics of hovering flight in Drosophila.
Using 3D infrared high-speed video, we captured the continuous wing and body kinematics of free-flying fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, during hovering and slow forward flight. We then 'replayed' the wing kinematics on a dynamically scaled robotic model to measure the aerodynamic forces produced by the wings. Hovering animals generate a U-shaped wing trajectory, in which large drag forces ...
متن کاملVortex Dynamics in Near Wake of a Hovering Hawkmoth
Numerical investigation of vortex dynamics in near wake of a hovering hawkmoth and hovering aerodynamics is conducted with a biology-inspired dynamic flight simulator. This simulator is developed to be capable of ‘flying’ an insect on a basis of realistic wing-body morphologies and kinematics. The computed results show a three-dimensional mechanism of vortical structures in hawkmoth hovering. A...
متن کاملWing motion measurement and aerodynamics of hovering true hoverflies.
Most hovering insects flap their wings in a horizontal plane (body having a large angle from the horizontal), called `normal hovering'. But some of the best hoverers, e.g. true hoverflies, hover with an inclined stroke plane (body being approximately horizontal). In the present paper, wing and body kinematics of four freely hovering true hoverflies were measured using three-dimensional high-spe...
متن کاملThe aerodynamics of revolving wings I. Model hawkmoth wings.
Recent work on flapping hawkmoth models has demonstrated the importance of a spiral 'leading-edge vortex' created by dynamic stall, and maintained by some aspect of spanwise flow, for creating the lift required during flight. This study uses propeller models to investigate further the forces acting on model hawkmoth wings in 'propeller-like' rotation ('revolution'). Steadily revolving model haw...
متن کاملWing kinematics measurement and aerodynamics of hovering droneflies.
The time courses of wing and body kinematics of three freely hovering droneflies (Eristalis tenax) were measured using 3D high-speed video, and the morphological parameters of the wings and body of the insects were also measured. The measured wing kinematics was used in a Navier-Stokes solver to compute the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the insects. The time courses of the geometrica...
