Creating the next generation of bat-inspired aircraft
From Clément Ader’s pioneering 19th-century flying machines to the present-day Bat Bot and BionicFlyingFox, aircraft design has been influenced by bats for more than 130 years. Now, a comprehensive 3D computer model of bat wing flapping flight that may enable the creation of nimbler, more aerodynamic drones and airplanes has been developed by researchers at […]
Two-phase Fluid-Structure Interaction
One of the salient features at the Computational Multiphysics Laboratory is the ability to simulate large scale two-phase fluid-structure interaction problems. These problems consist of deforming fluid-structure boundaries as well as evolving two-phase fluid-fluid boundary. As can be observed from Fig 1, the objective of the problem is to track the deforming fluid-structure […]
