Mención Internacional en el título de doctorThe unsteady aerodynamics that govern flapping flight at low Reynolds number are not yet properly understood. This means that air vehicles that use flapping wings to generate both thrust and lift do not show the desired performance. Many works on the aerodynamic forces of flapping airfoils can be found in the literature, but still our capability to predict these forces is limited. Most of these studies focus on flapping airfoils, assuming infinite aspect ratio wings and Two Dimensional (2D) flow. To what extent the 2D assumption is valid is uncertain. Furthermore, a very few studies address the effect that Three Dimensional (3D) flow structures originated by flow instabilities in infinite ...
