Aerodynamics of two-dimensional bristled wings in low-Reynolds-number flow
The smallest flying insects commonly possess bristled wings and use drag to provide flight forces. A bristled wing, with a wing area about 10% of that of a flat-plate wing, operating at the relevant Reynolds number of 5–15, produces a drag close to the plate wing. How this is done is not well unders...
