About the CFD simulation of a Hummingbird Project
The flow field generated by a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of a hummingbird in motion is visualized, revealing intricate vortex structures created during its flight. These simulations provided detailed insights into the aerodynamic patterns, showcasing how the hummingbird generates lift and maneuverability through its unique wing movements. By visualizing the vortex structures, the simulation highlighted the dynamic interaction between the bird's wings and the surrounding airflow, offering a deeper understanding of the sophisticated mechanisms behind its hovering and flapping behaviors. This visualization serves as a valuable tool for studying bio-inspired flight dynamics and fluid-structure interactions.
