Fig. 14. Comparison of aerodynamic force coefficients between a fruit fly with and without the body over a flapping cycle. While the mean aerodynamic force coefficients over one flapping cycle are similar, time courses of aerodynamic force coefficients differ between the simulation `with body' and `without body'. Solid lines, lift coefficients with the body (orange) and without the body (brown); broken lines, drag coefficients with the body (dark blue) and without the body (sky blue); dotted lines, sideslip force coefficients with the body (pink) and without the body (purple). T, dimensionless period of one flapping cycle.
