The two-dimensional (2D) inclined stroke plane kinematics of insect wing is studied for various stroke plane angles using the Immersed Boundary (IB) solver. The numerical results revealed the dominant lift enhancement mechanisms for this class of flo... Read More about Role of the dipole jet in inclined stroke plane kinematics of insect flight.

Tiny insects like dragonfly flaps in an inclined stroke plane, which derives most of its vertical force from the downstroke. Vortex dipole and its induced jet are unique to inclined stroke plane flapping, which transfer a linear momentum downward cau... Read More about Tiny Insect Jets.

A two-dimensional numerical simulation of tandem wings flapping in inclined stroke plane kinematics is carried out. The distance between the two wings is varied to understand its effect on the vortex dynamics and dipole jet. Immersed boundary method...
