Fig. 2. Translational velocity and the angular velocity of the wing as a function of dimensionless time for one stroke cycle. This motion was used for all simulations unless otherwise stated. Note that the wing begins to rotate during the first half stroke (or downstroke). Since most of the rotation occurs at the end of the downstroke, this motion describes the case of `advanced rotation'.
