🦢 Geese in V-Formation: Wingtip Vortices, Upwash and Energy Saving
Unlike the existing flocking and simple V-formation demos, this lab models each goose as a lifting line with a Lamb-Oseen trailing-vortex pair, maps the upwash and downwash field, adds wingbeat phase, lead rotation, an optimiser for follower positions and a metabolic power and range model, with five built-in numerical checks. Blender-modelled geese, Three.js r160.
