  • Data and scripts for "A bioinspired separated flow wing provides turbulence resilience and aerodynamic efficiency for miniature drones" manuscript. The scripts used to generate the figures in the manuscript (and supplementary materials) are named after the figure (e.g. Fig_1A_B). To run the scripts, download the full content of the main folder into a new folder and unzip all the zipped folders in it (this is required to extract the data and to extract the rgb function to color the markers in the plots). The data used by each script are stored in the zip folders: Overview_scaling - Motor efficiency and specific power, propellers, batteries. Natural flyers (birds, insects) flight characteristics. PIV_flow_fields - Mean flow velocity fields at 5,7,8 deg and Reynolds shear stress fields. Force_coefficients - Data from force measurements of C_L, C_D and C_L/C_D for the Eppler E423 reference wing and the separated flow wing. Re 40k,20k and 10k. Hot_wire - Velocity profiles from hot wire measurements at Tu = 0.04% and 6.9% on the Eppler E423 (alpha = 8deg) and the separated flow wing (alpha = 5,7deg) at Re 40k. Power spectra from velocity fluctuations inside the separated shear layer. Power_consumption - MAV power consumption at two different Turbulence levels (0.04% and 6.9%)
