Fig. 5. Force traces for different amplitudes. (A) Experimental force coefficients
for advanced rotation (
=
/4) and three stroke amplitudes,
A0/c=2.8 (red), 3.6 (blue) and 4.2 (green). (B)
Computational force coefficients for the same parameters. The time is
normalized with the flapping period. The force is normalized by the maxima of
the corresponding quasi-steady forces.
