Keith Walters ED - Mustafa Serdar Genc Y1 - 2012-04-04 PY - 2012 T1 - Prediction of Aerodynamic Characteristics for Elliptic Airfoils in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Applications N2 - This book reports the latest development and trends in the low Re number aerodynamics, transition from laminar to turbulence, unsteady low Reynolds number flows, experimental studies, numerical transition modelling, control of low Re number flows, and MAV wing aerodynamics. The contributors to each chapter are fluid mechanics and aerodynamics scientists and engineers with strong expertise in their respective fields. As a whole, the studies presented here reveal important new directions toward the realization of applications of MAV and wind turbine blades.
