An Investigation of a Morphing Flapped Wing (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study investigated the design, development, and validation of an alternative method to achieve morphing in wings through the implementation of a sliding mechanism concept. Performance was tested at a specific Reynolds number (Re = 0.62 × 106). M... Read More about An Investigation of a Morphing Flapped Wing.

Integrating operators’ preferences into decisions of unmanned aerial vehicles: Multi-layer decision engine and incremental preference elicitation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Due to the nature of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) missions, it is important that the decisions of a UAV stay consistent with the priorities of an operator, while at the same time allowing them to be easily audited and explained. We there... Read More about Integrating operators’ preferences into decisions of unmanned aerial vehicles: Multi-layer decision engine and incremental preference elicitation.

Influence of non-iterative time-advancement schemes on the aerodynamic prediction of pitching airfoils using dynamic mesh (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A pitching airfoil problem is addressed in this paper to assess the use of a non-iterative time-advancement (NITA) scheme with dynamic mesh method, and also to estimate possible CPU time savings. Simulations have shown that using a combination of dyn... Read More about Influence of non-iterative time-advancement schemes on the aerodynamic prediction of pitching airfoils using dynamic mesh.

Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection is investigated at a Reynolds number based on chord of 0.62×10^6 for a 2D NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with a morphing Trailing-edge flap (TEF) at a range of angles of attack and morphing frequencies. T... Read More about Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection.

Unsteady parametrization of a morphing wing design for improved aerodynamic performance (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A morphing wing is a bio-inspired concept where all moving parts e.g. slats/flaps are replaced with a deformable body. This paper describes a methodology that uses modified parametrization methods to define a morphing geometry, and applies user-defin...
