Fig. 13. The effects of rotation timing on force coefficients. (A) Non-dimensional
angular velocity of pitching rotation
(
) and azimuthal
rotation (
); (B) time
courses of lift coefficient (CL) and (C) drag coefficient
(CD) in one cycle. Reynolds number (Re)=200,
stroke amplitude (
)=150°, mid-stroke angle of attack
(
m)=40° and non-dimensional duration of wing rotation
(
r)=1.87 [mean angular velocity of rotation
(
)=0.93].
