Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Aerodynamics of Peregrine Falcons during Stoop Flight
Amongst birds, peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) are well-known for their unique high-speeds during stoop. A combination of time-resolved stereoscopic particle-image velocimetry (TR-SPIV), surface oil flow visualization (SOFV) and large-eddy simulations (LES) is used to analyze the complex flow o...
