The method solves Navier-Stokes equation in term of vorticity. The solving strategy is to split the equation into diffusion and convection terms, and solved them separately. The diffusion term is modelled by Particles Strength Exchange(PSE) which is the most accurate of diffusion modelling in vortex method. The convection term that represents transport of particles is calculated by time step integration of velocity. To exercise the capability of the method in handling complex flows, we carried out simulation of flow field around a flapping wing. The flapping cycle includes two strokes with rapid rotation near reversal stroke. The result demonstrates conformity of the simulation with experiment in revealing mechanism of force production due to wake capturing. The results also show spurious peaks of lift of simulation because of disappearance of vortex stretching.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Flapping wing,Particles strength exchange,Vortex method,Wake capturing[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
