Abstract: A method for simulating incompressible flows past airfoils and their wakes is described. Vorticity panels are used to represent the body, and vortex blobs (vortex points with their singularities ...

Abstract: A numerical-simulation tool is developed that is well suited for modeling the unsteady and nonlinear aerodynamics of flying insects and small birds as well as biologically inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs). ...
