Aerodynamic performance and flow structure analysis of a swallow–inspired NACA2415 airfoil
, indicating stable longitudinal aerodynamic behavior. Flow visualization results revealed a gradual transition from attached laminar flow to separated turbulent flow, suggesting smoother stall development and improved flow stability for the bioinspired configuration. These findings highlight the aerodynamic advantages of swallow-inspired wing geometries and their potential to enhance aerodynamic efficiency in low Reynolds number flight.
