SUMMARY:Gianmarco Ducci (UCLouvain): Stability and sensitivity analysis of 
 bird flight
DESCRIPTION:Gianmarco Ducci: Birds have been a source of inspiration for th
 e scientific community for decades. Flight dynamics is one of the many fas
 cinating aspects about bird flight\, especially regarding their ability of
  reacting to environmental perturbations\, to maintain straight trajectori
 es despite wind\, and to perform outstanding agile maneuvers.\nWe introduc
 e a numerical framework aiming at identifying trimmed conditions\, and qua
 ntifying the stability properties of flapping flight at the scale of migra
 tory birds. Such framework builds upon the coupling of a quasi-steady morp
 hing lifting line with a multiple-shooting algorithm.\nThe lifting line ta
 kes the wing kinematics as input\, and calculates the aerodynamic loads at
  every time step acting on the actual position of the flapping wing.\nThe 
 multiple-shooting algorithm detects the trimmed conditions (defined as lim
 it cycles) and assess their stability via Floquet theory.\nResults of this
  framework will be presented\, and the impact of some relevant flight para
 meters\, such as wingbeat amplitude and tail opening\, will be discussed.\
