High-fidelity flow simulations of electroactive membrane wings
This work is inspired by natural flyers such bats and insects. They show outstanding aerodynamic performance due to their flexible membrane wings and their ability to control its stiffness to improve manoeuvrability. In this work the fluid-structure coupling as well as the physics and the control of...
