This paper investigates the aerodynamics of a wing under figure-of-eight flapping motion based on Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The kinematic of a wing under figure-of-eight motion creates a condition with a variable angle-of-attack. The effect of...
