Wing shape adaptability during flight is the next step towards the greening of aviation. The shape of the wing is typically designed for one cruise point or a weighted average of several cruise points. However, a wing is subjected to a variety of fli...
In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the influence of winglets on the hydrodynamic performance and flow field characteristics of tidal current energy turbines, two different shapes of winglets are designed, and numerical simulation...
Tip vortices are one of the most critical phenomena facing rotary wings such as propellers and wind turbine blades and lead to changes in the aerodynamic parameters of blades. The winglet (WL) device is considered one of the most significant passive...
Reducing rotor aerodynamic noise is an important challenge in helicopter design. Active flap control (AFC) on rotors is an effective noise reduction method. It changes the segment airfoil shape, aerodynamic load distribution, and the wake path of the...
As a key enabler for future aviation technology, the use of servo electromechanical actuation offers new opportunities to transition innovative structural concepts, such as biomimicry morphing structures, from basic research to new commercial aircraf...
