Table 1 Aerodynamic performance and odor mass flux over the antennae at various reduced frequencies
From: A balance between aerodynamic and olfactory performance during flight in Drosophila
Reduced frequency (k=fR/U∞) | Lift coefficient (\(\bar C_{\rm{L}}\)) | Total force coefficient (\(\bar C_{\rm{F}}\)) | Aerodynamic power coefficient (\(\bar C_{{\rm{P}}{\rm{W}}}\)) | Total force-to-power ratio (\(\bar C_{\rm{F}}/\bar C_{{\rm{P}}{\rm{W}}}\)) | Peak odor mass flux (kg s−1 m−2) | Mean odor mass flux (kg s−1 m−2) |
