- Additional information
- This is the first high-fidelity simulation of an aerofoil ramp-up motion with the aim to discover the dynamics of the stall vortex generation. The onset of the instability at the trailing edge with a precise measurement of the length and time scales provided a significant insight on the control of the stall by passive adaptive controllers, e.g. flaps. Current demand in industry to use UAVs everywhere and at any weather conditions requires studies such as this paper on the dynamics of unsteady flight conditions
