Book

Flow Control Through Bio-inspired Leading-Edge Tubercles

New, T.H. and Ng, B.F. (eds). Springer Nature, Cham, 2020. DOI

This is the first book to document the novel concept of bio-inspired leading-edge tubercles derived from humpback whale flippers. It provides a practical guide to key scientific and engineering aspects of leading-edge tubercles, leading from the aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, noise attenuation, stability and applications.
