Aerodynamics

  1. AIRWAKE CONTROL OF ONR TUMBLEHOME USING CVG
    Computational study validates passive airwake control on ONR Tumblehome using columnar vortex generators to reduce turbulence and flow recirculation over flight decks.
  2. Reduced-order kite model matches soft-kite trajectories at low loadings
    Reduced-order model for bridled kite translational dynamics in airborne wind energy systems, balancing computational efficiency with predictive accuracy across soft and hard-wing designs.
