Abstract

Fluid-structure interaction of the flapping wings of a hovering bumblebee is considered. Kinematic reconstruction of the wing motion using synchronized high-speed video recordings is described, that provides the necessary input data for numerical modelling. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver is combined with a dynamical model that describes the wing motion. Results of a high resolution numerical simulation are presented.
