Presents developments in computational techniques pertaining to moving boundary problems in fluid dynamics. It describes several computational techniques which can be applied to a variety of problems in thermo-fluid physics, multi-phase flow, and applied mechanics which involve moving flow boundaries. The book demonstrates the application of a variety of techniques for the numerical solution of moving boundary problems within the framework of the finite-volume approach, with appropriate examples.

For anyone interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats, insects and air vehicles (MAVs).

An Introduction to Flapping Wing Aerodynamics

This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro air vehicles (MAVs), which present some of the richest problems intersecting science and engineering. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers, thanks to their flexible, deformable wing structures, as well as to outstanding wing, tail and body coordination, is particularly significant. To design and build MAVs with performance comparable to natural flyers, it is essential that natural flyers' combined flexible structural dynamics and aerodynamics are adequately understood. The primary focus of this book is to address the recent developments in flapping wing aerodynamics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (Shyy et al. 2008).
