Dependence on aspect ratio of symmetry breaking for oscillating foils: implications for flapping flight
Deng, Jian; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015-12-07)Using two-dimensional direct numerical simulations, we investigate the flow in a fluid of kinematic viscosity ν and density ρ around elliptical foils of density ρ_s with major axis c and minor axis b for three different ...

Instabilities of interacting vortex rings generated by an oscillating disk
Deng, Jian; Teng, Lubao; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick; Mao, Xuerui (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review E, 2016-09-14)We propose a natural model to probe in a controlled fashion the instability of interacting vortex rings shed from the edge of an oblate spheroid disk of major diameter $\textit{c}$, undergoing oscillations of frequency ...
