Abstract:The effects of sweep angle and reduced frequency on the leading-edge vortex (LEV) structure over flapping swept wings in the Reynolds number (Re) range of O(104) are yet to be completely understood. With increasing interest in designing bio-inspired micro-air-vehicles, understanding LEV dynamics in such scenarios is imperative. This study investigates the effects of three different sweep angles (Λ=0°, 30°, and 60°) on LEV dynamics through high-fidelity improved delayed detached eddy simulation to analyze the u… Show more
