Flow around the numerical butterfly model (VIDEO)

Shinshu University

Caption

The flow around the numerical butterfly model is calculated by the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method, and the flow field is visualized using an index called vorticity. The flapping of the model causes a flow downward and backward.
