UBVRI photometry of stars in the field of Taur dark clouds  

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Results of UBVRI observations of 127 stars in the field of Tauri dark clouds are presented. The distance of these clouds is 132+-10 pc. The reddening law in direction of the clouds is close to the normal one. The stars associated with the clouds have been picked out. The space density of these stars is several times higher than that in the Sun neighbourhood.

Unsteady aerodynamic forces of a flapping wing.  

Science.gov (United States)

The unsteady aerodynamic forces of a model fruit fly wing in flapping motion were investigated by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations. The flapping motion consisted of translation and rotation [the translation velocity (u(t)) varied according to the simple harmonic function (SHF), and the rotation was confined to a short period around stroke reversal]. First, it was shown that for a wing of given geometry with u(t) varying as the SHF, the aerodynamic force coefficients depended only on five non-dimensional parameters, i.e. Reynolds number (Re), stroke amplitude (Phi), mid-stroke angle of attack (alpha(m)), non-dimensional duration of wing rotation (Delta tau(r)) and rotation timing [the mean translation velocity at radius of the second moment of wing area (U), the mean chord length (c) and c/U were used as reference velocity, length and time, respectively]. Next, the force coefficients were investigated for a case in which typical values of these ...
