Flow structure behind a flapping wing at the end of the downstroke captured by volumetric Particle Image Velocimetry. The streamlines, shown with solid lines, are colored by the magnitude of the velocity. The translucent gray surfaces show isosurface of the vorticity. For the experiments, Re = 7500 and St = 0.35.

3D flow structure behind a flapping wing captured by volumetric Particle Image Velocimetry. The wing generates a strong downward jet at the end of the downstroke associated with a vortex ring. This is illustrated by the streamlines shown with solid lines and are colored by the magnitude of the velocity. The translucent gray surfaces show isosurface of the vorticity. For the experiments, Re = 7500 and St = 0.35.
