The prediction of aerodynamic characteristics and smart flap of airfoil under the ground effect have been carried out by the integration of computational fluid dynamics. Considering different types of beams, a parametric bending profile of a smart...

The flow around a flapping airfoil is considered numerically. The results were compared with experiments. Jameson control volume method has been used....

Background: Facial artery myomucosal flap pedicled solely on skeletonized facial artery has been reported in the literature. Venous drainage of this modified flap is doubtful so an animal study was designed to verify the survival of this flap...

Hummingbirds have been considered because they have high maneuverability. Making an example of this type of bird needs to observe the kinematic and aerodynamic issues of the bird’s flight. In this article the locus of ...

The predition of aerodynamic characteristics and smart flap of airfoil under the ground effect have been carried out by integatiation of computational fluid dynamics. A parametric bending profile of a smart flap is designed considering different...

In this numerical study, the flow field around an airfoil undergoing a flapping

motion or oscillation is considered and the effect of the amplitude of oscillation, the

frequency and the angle of attack are investigated. To adapt grids...
