Aerodynamic performance in bat flight
Bats are the only mammals capable of flight, and they are the only animal flyers that are mammals. This thesis focuses on the latter of those facts, and investigates how bats fly, from an aerodynamic perspective. The data on which this thesis is based were generated by examining the airflows beneath and behind bats flying in a wind tunnel, and by examining their wing kinematics manually and aut...
متن کاملAutomated aerodynamic performance estimates for flapping flight
The aerodynamic performance of freely flying birds is inherently difficult to measure directly without interfering with their natural flight. Many current methods thus combine kinematic parameters derived from high-speed video with theoretical force and power models. However, these methods often require manual tracking of points in each frame of a video to obtain kinematic data. This project ut...
متن کاملMulti-Fidelity High-Lift Aerodynamic Optimization of Single-Element Airfoils
We describe a computationally efficient simulation-driven design methodology for single-element airfoils at high-lift conditions. Direct optimization of an accurate but computationally expensive high-fidelity simulation model based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations is replaced by iterative updating and re-optimization of a cheap surrogate. The surrogate model exploits a low-fidelity ...
متن کاملIntelligent Aerodynamic/Propulsion Flight Control For Flight Safety: A Nonlinear Adaptive Approach
This paper presents an intelligent fault tolerant flight control system that blends aerodynamic and propulsion actuation for safe flight operation in the presence of actuator failures. Fault tolerance is obtained by a nonlinear adaptive control strategy based on on-line learning neural networks and actuator reallocation scheme. The adaptive control block incorporates a recently developed techni...
متن کاملA Cybernetic Approach To Assess Flight Simulator Fidelity
This paper presents the results of an experiment in which a cybernetic approach has been used to investigate the effect of motion filter setting changes and display type on simulator fidelity. Pilot control behavior, pilot remnant, open loop behavior, open loop performance and subjective evaluations in a real jet-aircraft were compared with that in a high-fidelity motion base simulator. The tas...
