Fig. 8. Vorticity plots at half-wing length near the end of a half-stroke at various Reynolds number (Re). Solid and broken lines indicate positive and negative vorticity, respectively. The magnitude of the non-dimensional vorticity at the outer contour is 2 and the contour interval is 3. Stroke amplitude ({Phi})=150°, midstroke angle of attack ({alpha}m)=40° and non-dimensional duration of wing rotation ({Delta}{tau}r)=1.87 [mean angular velocity of rotation ({varpi})=0.93]; symmetrical rotation.
