title = "Bio-inspired, low-Reynolds number, aerodynamics of flapping airfoils in tandem; computational studies using LES",
abstract = "Oscillating airfoils are encounter in many biological systems and power extraction devices. The pitching/plunging motion of airfoils can generate lift and thus, it can be used as a propulsion system. A flapping flight mechanism is computational investigated in the present research using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The present study concerns the aerodynamics of two pitching/plunging NACA0012 airfoils in tandem. The interference of the aerodynamics and vortex-street interactions between the wake of first airfoil and second airfoil is subject of investigation in this study. The Reynolds number effect on the aerodynamic performance of the two airfoils in tandem is also subject of investigation in this research. The effect of the flapping frequency and offset distance between the two airfoils on the aerodynamic performance is also subject of investigation.",
