Fig. 18. Lift coefficients as a function of distance traveled for a wing started
from rest and translated seven chord lengths at a 45° angle of attack.
Dotted lines represent data collected during an experiment of Dickinson and
Götz (1993), and solid
lines represent the results of our two-dimensional simulation. Lift
coefficients in both cases oscillate with the shedding of the leading and
trailing edge vortices. Note that lift forces in our simulation have stronger
oscillations than the forces measured by Dickinson and Götz.
