Discovering the Complex Aerodynamics of Flapping Flight with Bio-kinematics Using Boltzmann and Eulerian Methods

The cross-sectional geometry of an insect wing has historically been simplified to a rectangular, elliptic, or having a streamlined airfoil shape. Up until this point, no analysis has utilized a morphologically accurate insect wing. As such, there remains significant questions as to whether or not t...
