Wind tunnel studies of turns by flying dragonflies.
High-speed movies of dragonflies turning in flight on flexible tethers show that there are two distinct modes of turning. In the 'conventional' mode, dragonflies use left-right asymmetries in the wing stroke amplitude, and occasionally in the angle of attack, to produce more lift and thrust on one side than the other. This causes the animal to roll into a bank, so that the lift vector has a sid...
متن کاملComputational Studies of the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel
This paper presents steady-state (viscous) and timeaccurate (inviscid) numerical solutions of the flowfield inside the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (VTHST) with a Mach 4 nozzle. The numerical solutions are obtained using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver named GASP. Comparisons between the steady-state CFD solutions and available experimental data are also presented in this pa...
متن کاملSpace charge generated by wind tunnel fires
Ž . Plume clouds resulting from wildland fires pyrocumulus sometimes produce lightning discharges to ground. These discharges were found to carry positive charge to ground exclusively in several cases. Emission of space charge was observed from woody materials burned in the presence of an external electric field. Measurements done in a large wind tunnel for this study confirm and extend measure...
متن کاملTaking Turns in Flying with a Virtual Wingman
In this study we investigate how human pilots interact with a virtual wingman, represented by our virtual agent Ashley. Based on recordings of an earlier experiment, we made an inventory of the type of problems that occur in such interactions. In an effort to derive what type of cues elicited by the human pilots could provide indicators to Ashley to recognize such problems by herself, we design...
متن کاملA Further Wind Tunnel Investigation of Underwing Jet Interference bY
SUMMARY Further experiments, to investigate the interference of the Jet stream issuing from a high bypass ratio engine mounted below a wing, are described. Tests have been made with a two-dimensional wing, and two nozzle shapes representing engues with different fan cowl lengths. A Jet blonng from these nozzles produced negligible interference on the wing upper surface. However, a change in th8...
