Unsteady Low Reynolds Number Aerodynamics of a Rotating Wing
… presents unique challenges as they operate at low Reynolds numbers O(10^4), and they share a flight regime with insects rather than conventional aircraft. The low Reynolds number regime is dominated by poor aerodynamic characteristics such as low lift-to-drag ratios. To overcome this, birds and …

Measurements of Wings at Very Low Reynolds Numbers
Very low Reynolds number aerodynamics is a rapidly growing field of interest, especially in regard to the design and development of micro- and nano-air vehicles. In the work culminating in this thesis, force measurement apparatuses were designed and prototyped to measure wing performance at very …

Propellers in yawed flow at low speeds
… documented. But neither their performance at low Reynolds numbers, nor their behavior in yaw are clearly known. Knowledge of the aerodynamic characteristics of these propellers is instrumental in providing an appropriate propulsion system. The goal behind this thesis is to evaluate the …

Aerodynamic performance of low-to-moderate aspect ratio wings at low Reynolds numbers
… thesis presents wind tunnel results of wings of low-to-moderate aspect ratio (2$\leq$\AR$\leq$5) tested at low Reynolds numbers (40,000 to 160,000). All models tested had a chord length of 3~in and a wingspan of 7 to 17.5~in. Experiments were conducted in the low-turbulence wind tunnel in the …
