Grenzenlos
Auf den Spuren eines der unglaublichsten Naturereignisse: die abenteuerlichen Reisen der Tiere um den Planeten. Alljährlich wiederholt sich die weltumspannende Migration der Tiere. Nicht nur Zugvögel wechseln in riesigen Schwärmen die Kontinente, auch Milliarden von Säugetieren, Fischen, sogar Insekten gehen auf Wanderschaft. Riesige Wale ziehen von der Polarregion in tropische Gewässer, Meeresschildkröten queren die Ozeane. Selbst Schmetterlinge und die winzige Wanderlibelle legen zigtausende Kilometer zurück. Wie orientieren sich die Tiere, und vor allem: Warum brechen sie zu ihren Wanderungen auf? Spannend und überaus anschaulich erzählt Buoninconti von den Überlebensstrategien dieser Wanderer und davon, wie sehr Klimawandel und Umwelteingriffe jahrtausendealte biologische Zyklen bedrohen.
Distinct Aerodynamics of Insect-Scale Flight
Insect scale flapping-wing flight vehicles can conduct environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, mapping, positioning and security around complex and challenging surroundings. To develop bio-inspired flight vehicles, systematic probing based on the particular category of flight vehicles is needed. This Element addresses the aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, geometry, stability and dynamics of flexible flapping wings in the insect flight regime. We highlight distinct features and issues related to wing-wing interactions, contrast aerodynamic stability between rigid and flexible wings, implications of the wing aspect ratio, using canonical models and dragonflies to elucidate scientific insight as well as technical capabilities of bio-inspired design.
Basic Aerodynamics
In the rapidly advancing field of flight aerodynamics, it is especially important for students to master the fundamentals. This text, written by renowned experts, clearly presents the basic concepts of underlying aerodynamic prediction methodology. These concepts are closely linked to physical principles so that they are more readily retained and their limits of applicability are fully appreciated. Ultimately, this will provide students with the necessary tools to confidently approach and solve practical flight vehicle design problems of current and future interest. This book is designed for use in courses on aerodynamics at an advanced undergraduate or graduate level. A comprehensive set of exercise problems is included at the end of each chapter.
