1. 1. Catching the invisible - aerodynamic tracks and kinematics of bat and bird flight

   Författare :Marta Wolf; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flight; bats; birds; kinematics; vertebrates; aerodynamics;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is about the flight of vertebrates and the studies of different modes of flight. Flight has always fascinated mankind and this fascination gave inspiration for our attempts at flying. LÄS MER

3. 2. Birds in the Flow: Flight Mechanics, Wake Dynamics and Flight Performance

   Sammanfattning : I share my fascination of bird flight with many others, and here I summarise my thesis on the subject. This thesis emphasises the mechanics of bird flight by focusing on flight mechanics, wake dynamics and flight performance. LÄS MER

4. 3. Feathers by day, membranes by night - Aerodynamic performance in bird and bat flight

   Författare :Florian Muijres; Evolutionär ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; animal flight; aerodynamics; vortex wake; actuator disk; flight performance; span efficiency; bird; bat; wind tunnel; PIV; Pied Flycatcher; Glossophaga soricina; Leptonycteris yerbabuenae;

   Sammanfattning : The efficiency and performance of a flying animal is directly related to the aerodynamics around its body and flapping wings. Here, I have developed methods for quantifying the wake dynamics around a flying animal. The results are used to estimate the aerodynamic performance of flapping flight. LÄS MER
