Title:
- Simulation and Visualization of Flow Around Bat Wings During Flight
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We present the first example of flow simulation and visualization over a motion-captured dynamic bat model (order Chiroptera). By understanding the dynamics of bat flight, we hope to make discoveries in areas such as biomechanics, aerodynamics, and evolutionary biology.
