Effects of Reynolds Number on Lift Coefficient of Dragonfly's Wing
Details
The influence of Reynolds number on the lift coefficient of dragonfly's wing is examined by the wind tunnel experiment by changing the attack angle of wing from -90deg to +90deg. Moreover, the artificial wings, which materials are plastic plate and cellophane sheet, are also used for the measurement of lift coefficient. It follows that the influence of Reynolds number on the dragonfly's wing is significant but the influence on the artificial wings is insignificant.
