Introduction
My thesis focuses on advancing our understanding of multi-body flows,
particularly in the context of rotorcraft and flapping systems. I developed
efficient aerodynamic models for coaxial rotors, aiming to accelerate the design
process for innovative transportation methods. Additionally, I conducted wind
tunnel experiments and numerical analyses to gain insights into flow dynamics in
tandem flapping configurations, contributing to the development of flapping
drone technology.

Flapping flight is an increasingly popular area of research, with applications to micro-unmanned air vehicles and animal flight biomechanics. Fast, but accurate methods for predicting the aerodynamic loads acting on flapping wings are of interest for designing such aircraft and optimizing thrust production. In this work, the unsteady vortex lattice...
