Abstract: Abstract We examine the effect on near-wall turbulence of displacing the apparent, virtual origins perceived by different components of the overlying flow. This mechanism is commonly reported for drag-altering textured surfaces of small size. For… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Insects are well equipped in walking on complex three-dimensional terrain, allowing them to overcome obstacles or catch prey. However, the gait transition for insects steering on a wall remains unexplored. Here, we find that… read more here.
