Explore the fascinating world of low Reynolds number aerodynamics with “Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers” from The Bookish Owl. This essential guide delves into the flight mechanics of natural flyers like birds and insects, and man-made Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). Covering fixed and flapping wings, the book examines scaling laws, structural flexibility, airfoil shapes, and unsteady flapping wing aerodynamics. Understand the crucial interplay between flapping kinematics and key dimensionless parameters such as Reynolds number and Strouhal number. Discover various unsteady lift enhancement mechanisms, including leading-edge vortex, rapid pitch-up, wake capture, and clap-and-fling. Perfect for biologists and aerospace engineers interested in avian flight, insect flight, and advanced MAV design.
